Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and
performance, the following
systems operate automati-
cally in response to various
driving situations. Be
aware, however, that these
systems are supplementary
and should not be relied
upon too heavily when oper-
ating the vehicle.
Summary of the driving
assist systems
ECB (Electronically Con-
■
trolled Brake System)
The electronically controlled
system generates braking force
corresponding to the brake
operation
ABS (Anti-lock Brake Sys-
■
tem)
Helps to prevent wheel lock
when the brakes are applied
suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slip-
pery road surface
Brake assist
■
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake
pedal is depressed when the
system detects a panic stop sit-
uation
4-5. Using the driving support systems
VSC (Vehicle Stability Con-
■
trol)
Helps the driver to control skid-
ding when swerving suddenly or
turning on slippery road sur-
faces.
Enhanced VSC (Enhanced
■
Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of
the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional
stability when swerving on slip-
pery road surfaces by con-
trolling steering performance.
Trailer Sway Control
■
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying
brake pressure for individual
wheels and reducing driving
torque when trailer sway is
detected.
Secondary Collision Brake
■
When the airbag sensor detects
a collision, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically con-
trolled to reduce the vehicle
speed and that helps reduce the
possibility of further damage
due to a secondary collision.
TRAC (Traction Control)
■
Helps to maintain drive power
and prevent the drive wheels
from spinning when starting the
vehicle or accelerating on slip-
pery roads
