Using saturated inputs in ode45

Hi everyone, I'm kind of new to matlab and I'm having trouble saturating a control input by simulating a nonlinear system in ode45. My code basically takes an arbitrary set of initial conditions of a ground vehicle and uses predictive control theory to track a reference trajectory. Anyways, there are constraints on the control inputs which I impose using an "if" statement. When I go to plot my control inputs I see that my inputs aren't saturating. Can someone help me out on this? Here is my code. Thanks.
function tracking
global Izz m C1 C2 Rc wr vr h
Izz = 271091;
m = 52540;
C1 = 144;
C2 = 13550;
Rc = 300;
wr = 0.04;
vr = 12;
h = 6;
t = [0:0.1:170];
x0 = [0 0 -pi/2 0 0];
[t, x] = ode45(@track, [0 170], x0);
close all;
figure(1)
plot(x(:,1),x(:,2))

hold on;
xr = -Rc*sin(wr*t);
yr = Rc*cos(wr*t);
plot(xr,yr,'--black')

fr = -C1*x(:,4).*abs(x(:,4)); % ground resistant force
tr = -C2*x(5); % ground resistant torque
fv = fr/m;
gv = 1/m;
fw = tr/Izz;
gw = 1/Izz;

Dear friend;
I have the same problem as you and I have cheked the limits inside function track, but when I simulate and plot my control inputs, they are not saturated , what can I do please ??? please help me

The check for limit is inside the function track(). The u1 and u2 you plotted are inside the function tracking(). They have nothing to do with each other except having the same variable name.
Are you supposed to do the check inside function tracking()?

I don't know about that. If you don't have that check for limit in track(), will you be able to re-construct the same u1 and u2 in tracking()?
The usual way would be calculating u1 and u2 in tracking() and then passing them to track(), right? track() is defining an ODE function. In state space notation, xprime=Ax+Bu, the input u1 and u2 should be passed in.
