BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. The following brake control functions are provided: Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), brake assist, Auto LSD, Traction Control (TRC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), hill-start assist control and downhill assist control.

    2. The cooperative control with the EPS and 4WD/AWD system is used on models with VSC.

  2. MAIN FEATURES


    1. Cooperative Control with EPS and 4WD/AWD System


      1. The cooperative control with the EPS and 4WD/AWD system uses a cooperative control function that performs integrated control of the brake control system, Electric Power Steering (EPS) system and dynamic torque control 4WD/AWD system* in accordance with driving conditions. Thus, the cooperative control with the EPS and 4WD/AWD system improves the dynamic performance of the vehicle to run, turn and stop, and ensures excellent driving stability, driveability and acceleration performance during cornering.
