4-5. Using the driving support systems
■
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 (if
equipped)
When the airbag sensor detects a
collision, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and
that helps reduce the possibility of
further damage due to a secondary
collision.
■
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
■
Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate during cor-
nering
■
Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■
EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel
■
Dynamic Torque Control AWD
system (AWD models)
Automatically switches from front-
wheel drive to all-wheel drive
(AWD) according to the driving con-
ditions, helping to ensure reliable
handling and stability. Examples of
conditions where the system will
switch to AWD are when cornering,
going uphill, starting off or acceler-
ating, and when the road surface is
slippery due to snow, rain, etc.
■
Dynamic Torque Vectoring
AWD system (AWD models)
Automatically switches from front
wheel drive to all-wheel drive
(AWD) according to the driving con-
ditions, helping to ensure reliable
handling and stability. Examples of
conditions where the system will
switch to AWD are when cornering,
going uphill, starting off or acceler-
ating, and when the road surface is
slippery due to snow, rain, etc.
Also, when the vehicle is cornering,
the drive torque distribution
between the front and rear wheels
and between the rear left and right
wheels is precisely controlled to
improve drivability and stability.
■
Emergency brake signal (if
equipped)
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
