VDIM (3 mode)
Rather than combining the independent functions of the conventional ABS (Anti-lock Brake System), TRAC (TRAction
Control system)/TRC (TRaction Control system), and VSC (Vehicle Stability Control system), VDIM integrates and
coordinates these systems while also implementing various controls to achieve excellent acceleration, handling and braking.
VSC function
Depending on the road surface and other circumstances such as vehicle speed and steering inputs, the vehicle may have a
tendency to exhibit rear wheel slip (oversteer) or front wheel slip (understeer).Oversteer tendency is based on inputs from
a host of sensors that detect the status of the vehicle. Based on the amount of oversteer tendency detected, selective
braking is applied to the wheels on the outside of the turn. As a result, an outward moment is generated and the vehicle's
tendency to oversteer is suppressed.Understeer tendency is determined by comparing the driv er's desired yaw rate based
on steering angle and vehicle speed with the vehicle's actual yaw rate. Based on this comparison, a moment is generated in
the direction of travel by reducing engine output and selective braking to suppress the vehicle's tendency to understeer.
TRAC/TRC function
When sudden acceleration is attempted during a turn on slippery roads, the rear end of the vehicle may slip sideways due
to excessive rear wheelspin.The TRAC/TRC and VSC functions integrated into VDIM adjust torque and apply selective
braking to the drive wheels in accordance with the turn and any wheelspin encountered. Doing so empowers the driver
with their intended acceleration and helps keep vehicle stability.
ABS function
This prevents tires from locking during sudden braking or braking on slippery roads. By ensuring sufficient braking force,
the ABS function helps maintain handling performance and vehicle stability.
