Rav4 Stability Control Vs Active AWD

The stability control affects engine power during cornering only. The AWD will adjust torque to each wheel when the tires traction limit has been reached even during acceleration. At least, that's how I understand it in simplistic terms.

You're right, Viper. Stability control can individualy brake wheels to keep the vehicle on what the computer determines is the path the driver means to be on. In other words, it will try to keep the vehicle from over or under steering. Active AWD controls individual brakes to mimic limited-slip differential systems and keep the torque going to the wheels with the most traction.

Thanks for the confirmation. I didn't realize that active AWD controls the brakes as well. Interesting. Thanks for the info.
