Device to assist driving
In order to improve driving safety and driving performance, the following devices
operate automatically according to driving conditions. However, these systems are
only auxiliary, so don't rely on them and drive carefully.
• ECB (Electronic Control Brake System)
Electronic control generates braking force according to braking operation.
• ABS (anti-lock braking system)
Prevents tires from locking during sudden braking or braking on slippery roads
and suppresses slippage.
• Brake assist
Generates greater braking force during sudden braking.
• VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
It suppresses skidding during sudden steering operations and when turning on slippery road
surfaces, contributing to maintaining the vehicle's posture.
• TRC (traction control)
When starting or accelerating on a slippery road surface, it suppresses the spinning of the tires and
secures the driving force.
• Hill start assist control
Relieves the car from rolling backwards when starting uphill.
• EPS (Electric Power Steering)
An electric motor is used to assist the steering wheel operation.
• VDIM (Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management)
It comprehensively controls ABS, Brake Assist, TRC, VSC, Hill Start Assist
Control, and EPS. Controlling the output of
the brake/hybrid system contributes to ensuring vehicle stability during sudden
driving maneuvers, such as when driving on slippery roads.
