Claim 0:
1. A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
detecting, by a controller of the vehicle, a displacement of a suspension system of the vehicle during operation of the vehicle;
detecting, by the controller, a speed of at least one ground engaging member of the vehicle;
comparing, by the controller, a plurality of detected parameters of the vehicle to at least one threshold identified in a parameter map stored in memory accessible by the controller, the plurality of detected parameters including the detected speed of the at least one ground engaging member and a rate of change of the displacement of the suspension system; and
adjusting, by the controller in response to the comparing, a stabilizer bar of the vehicle, wherein the adjusting includes adjusting the stabilizer bar by decreasing a stiffness of the stabilizer bar in response to detecting a rough terrain traversed by the vehicle and increasing the stiffness of the stabilizer bar in response to detecting a smooth terrain traversed by the vehicle, the rough terrain and the smooth terrain being detected by the controller based on the comparing.
