Default whats that beeping sound. when u do a sharp turn

if u r at a relatively high speed and take a sharp turn. as if u were about to loose control, u get a beeping , almost warning sound. it continues till u stop the sharp turn or maneuver,

what is it.. VSC??

Vehicle Stability Control, car detects the loss of control.

Yes it is Vehicle Stability Control - you may be living a littel bit too close to the edge if you get the beep very often.

I often take an exit in my SC430 off the highway quite fast and hear this rapid beeping sound. Are we sure it is VSC because the VSC or TC light does not come on?
Could it be a pre-VSC warning? Is there such a thing?

But I felt no traction loss and neither VSC nor TC lights went on. I've experienced those lights occasionally going on in the rain, but there's never been any rapid beeping.
