the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface

Brake assist

depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turn-

ing on slippery road surfaces

TRC (Traction Control)

Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spin-

ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
