BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM


  1. FUNCTION


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

    2. The VSC OFF switch can select the 3 modes (Normal Mode, TRC OFF Mode, VSC OFF Mode). When the VSC OFF switch is pressed briefly, TRC OFF Mode is entered and the TRC function will be disabled. When the VSC OFF switch is pressed and held for 3 seconds or more, VSC OFF Mode is entered and the TRC and VSC functions will be disabled.

    3. After the ignition switch is turned off in TRC OFF Mode or VSC OFF Mode, turning the ignition switch ON again selects the Normal Mode. The system also enters Normal Mode automatically when the vehicle speed increases.
