Abstract
A stabilizer system, for use in a vehicle, exhibiting an appropriate rolling-restraining effect to restrain rolling of a body of the vehicle. An electronic control unit includes a control-start-timing reference-relative-rotation-position determining portion that determines a reference relative-rotation position of two stabilizer bars from which a relative-rotation amount of the two stabilizer bars is counted when a rolling-restraining control is performed. In the stabilizer system, when a lateral acceleration exceeds a reference value, the rolling-restraining control is started; and a relative-rotation position of the two stabilizer bars when the lateral acceleration exceeds the reference value is determined as the reference relative-rotation position of the two stabilizer bars. Thus, an appropriate reference relative-rotation position of the two stabilizer bars can be easily determined and accordingly an appropriate rolling-restraining effect of the two stabilizer bars can be exhibited.
