Abstract
A control system for a motor vehicle that operates to receive a signal indicative of a steering angle of a vehicle and cause application of negative torque to one or more wheels of a vehicle to slow a wheel. The system is configured to perform a turn-assist operation in which the system causes application of negative torque to at least a first wheel of a vehicle being an inside trailing wheel when a steering angle exceeds a predetermined steering angle thereby to promote turning of a vehicle. The amount of negative torque is arranged to increase with increasing steering angle beyond the predetermined steering angle.
