The Vlasov kinetic approach is used to study the stability of the magnetopause current layer (MCL) when a sheared flow velocity and a sheared magnetic field both exist simultaneously within it. A modified Harris-Sestero equilibrium where the magnetic field and bulk velocity are changing direction on the same spatial scale is suggested to illustrate the generation of a y component of the magnetic field in the center of the MCL. With this equilibrium it is shown that By(0) can be of the order of Bz(∞) when the value of the shear flow (U) tends to the ion drift velocity (Ud). The modifications of the initial symmetrical Harris configuration, introduced by the presence of a shear flow, strongly influence the adiabatic interaction of the plasma with low-frequency tearing-type electromagnetic perturbations as well as the nonadiabatic response of the particles near the center of the MCL. This results in a reduction of the growth rate of the tearing mode.
