Active Torque Vectoring

Similar to the 2015 WRX and STI, Active Torque Vectoring has been added to the 2015 Legacy
and Outback. This logic uses the VDC unit to apply a slight brake force to the front inner wheel
if understeer is detected by the lateral G-Sensor, Yaw Rate Sensor, Vehicle Speed Sensors, and
Steering Angle Sensor.
