1 Scope
This part of ISO 17288 specifies an open-loop test method for determining the free control stability of a passenger car as defined in ISO 3833, by measurement of the transient behaviour following steering release, starting from a steady-state cornering status.
NOTE The open-loop manoeuvre specified in this part of ISO 17288 is not representative of normal driving conditions, but is nonetheless useful for obtaining a measure of vehicle transient behaviour.
