==Active systems== {{see also|Active suspension}} The first active anti-roll bar system was [[Citroën]]'s SC.CAR (Systeme Citroën de Contrôle Actif du Roulis), debuted in its 1994 [[Xantia]] [[Citroën Activa|Activa]], a medium-sized European sedan.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.citroenet.org.uk/miscellaneous/hydraulics/hydraulics-11.html |title=Citroën hydraulics Xantia |website=Citroenet |location=UK |access-date=2017-06-27 |archive-date=2018-09-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180929070428/http://www.citroenet.org.uk/miscellaneous/hydraulics/hydraulics-11.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The anti-roll bar could be stiffened by the suspension [[Electronic control unit|ECU]] during hard cornering, minimizing body roll to 2 degrees. The [[Mercedes-Benz S-Class]] [[Active Body Control]] system eliminates the anti-roll bar, instead using sensors to detect lateral load, lateral force, and height difference in the suspension strut, which then hydraulically raise or lower the spring to counter roll. [[Toyota]] also uses{{when|date=September 2023}} a mechanical system called [[Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System]] (KDSS) that essentially disengages{{how|date=September 2023}} the stabilizer bars when off-road, allowing for greater vehicle articulation and ride quality.
