Driving assist systems

To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems

operate 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.

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

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)

Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.

Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery road

surfaces by controlling steering performance.

TRAC (Traction Control)

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

ning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads

Hill-start assist control (hybrid vehicles)
