SYSTEM CONTROL
If the drive force is excessive due to an excessive throttle opening angle when starting off or accelerating on a slippery road surface, the drive wheels may slip and negatively affect acceleration and steering. By controlling the drive force and brake force of the drive wheels to limit wheel spin in accordance with the road conditions, the TRC system ensures acceleration when starting off, straight line acceleration and turning stability.
