ASC SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION


  1. ASC SYSTEM


    1. The ASC system uses a stereo component equalizer assembly to electronically generate a driving sound. Simulated engine sounds are output from the No. 1 speaker assembly with box.

      The simulated engine sounds are calculated based on the vehicle information (driving mode, shift position and accelerator opening angle). The sounds can be turned on and off and the volume can be adjusted via operation of the vehicle sound switch.

    2. The following sounds can be output.


      1. w/ Adaptive Variable Suspension System:


        1. Idling Sound


          • When the vehicle is stopped or idling, a sound resembling an audible engine sound is output.

          • When the vehicle is stopped, accelerating at below 10 km/h (6 mph) or decelerating at 9 km/h (6 mph) or less, sound is output.

            The following conditions must be met:


            • When in Normal mode or Customize Normal mode: vehicle is driven at 10 km/h (6 mph) or more when accelerating and driving noise is output.

            • When in Sport or Customize Power mode: vehicle is starting off, or the engine is started.

        3. Exhaust pulsation sound


          • Specially designed exhaust pulsation sound which simulates the sound of unburned exhaust gases combusting in and around the exhaust pipe.

          • Generated when the vehicle is being driven with the accelerator pedal depressed, and the accelerator pedal is suddenly released.
