Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling a vehicle includes moving a lift generating device to generate lift when a vehicle speed is greater than a pre-defined speed, a steering angle of the vehicle is equal to or less than a minimum angle value, a lateral acceleration of the vehicle is equal to or less than a minimum lateral acceleration value, and a corner brake fluid pressure at any of the wheels is equal to or less than a minimum brake fluid pressure. A downforce generating device is moved to generate downforce when the vehicle speed is greater than the pre-defined speed, the steering angle is equal to or greater than a maximum angle value, the lateral acceleration is equal to or greater than a maximum lateral acceleration value, and the corner brake fluid pressure at any of the wheels is equal to or greater than a maximum brake fluid pressure.
