-
detecting, using an accident detection system, a situation posing an increased risk of an accident involving the motor vehicle; altering at least one driving state variable of the motor vehicle in response to the detected situation posing an increased risk of an accident, wherein the driving state variable is one of a yaw rate or a state variable correlated with the yaw rate, and wherein the altering of the driving state variable provides a sensory warning detectable by the driver. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
