2-4. Using other driving systems

Driving assist systems

To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems 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

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.
The TRC system is also equipped with the brake LSD function.

EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn
the steering wheel

When the TRC/VSC systems are operating

The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRC (brake LSD func-
tion)/VSC systems are operat-
ing.
