To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems oper-

ate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be aware, however,

that these systems are supplementary and should not be relied upon too

heavily when operating the vehicle.

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the

brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is

depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on

slippery road surfaces

Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control)

faces by controlling steering performance.

when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
