    9. Brake


      1. The hydraulic brake booster in which the brake actuator, brake booster, master cylinder are integrated is used.

      2. An electric parking brake system has been adopted.

      3. The following brake control functions are provided: multi-terrain Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), brake assist, Active Traction Control (A-TRC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), trailer sway control, hill-start assist control and CRAWL with turn assist function.

      4. In addition to the conventional ABS, a Multi-terrain ABS, which automatically calculates the optimum ABS control in accordance with the off-road terrain such as dirt, sand, or gravel, is newly provided. The braking feel in off-road situations has been enhanced.

      5. The CRAWL with turn assist function is used. The CRAWL, a driving support system which aids the driver when the vehicle is driven on very bumpy or slippery roads, has been newly added. When the CRAWL is active, the engine output and the brake force are automatically regulated, thus enabling the vehicle to run at a constant speed. As a result, the driver is allowed to concentrate on maneuvering the steering wheel with less accelerator and brake pedal operation.

      6. The multi-terrain select is used, thus aiming for an improvement of off-road driveability.
