Abstract
A slip control system for a motor vehicle controls slippage of driving wheels and includes a sensor for detecting a slip ratio of each driving wheel, a device for decreasing slip of each driving wheel by controlling a driving force transmitted to the driving wheel so that the slip ratio of the driving wheel is at least equal to a predetermined desired slip ratio when the slip ratio of the driving wheel is equal to the desired slip ratio, a sensor for detecting a yawing rate of the vehicle, and a sensor for detecting a steering amount of the vehicle. The slip decreasing device includes a correcting device for decreasing the desired slip ratio when a steering condition is detected based on amounts detected by both the yawing rate detecting sensor and the steering amount detecting sensor.
