Abstract

A method of adaptively changing brake force distribution in a vehicle may include detecting vehicle parameters during operation of the vehicle, based on the detected vehicle parameters, determining downhill travel of the vehicle while braking and steering inputs are applied to the vehicle as an enabling condition, and responsive to detection of a trigger comprising detection of an understeer condition while the enabling condition is satisfied, executing a brake force distribution modification defining a change in distribution of brake forces between a front axle and a rear axle of the vehicle.
