BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. The operation of the TRC and VSC functions can be stopped by the VSC OFF switch. While the vehicle is running off the shoulder of the road or running on a dirt road, the engine output control is stopped to maintain drive torque.

    2. On 2WD models, the driver can select the TRC OFF mode by operating the VSC OFF switch. At the same time, the Auto LSD turns on, thus enabling the operation of the Auto LSD function.

    3. Pressing and holding the VSC OFF switch for 3 seconds or more with the vehicle stopped selects the VSC OFF mode, disabling the Auto LSD*, TRC and VSC functions.

    4. Briefly pressing the VSC OFF switch in the TRC OFF mode (Auto LSD on*) or VSC OFF mode or turning the ignition switch off returns to the Normal mode.
