Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) 12 senses, and helps correct, a loss of traction in turns. Active Traction Control (A-
TRAC) directs power to those wheels with the best traction to help control wheelspin on surfaces like mud, sand and ice.
Should you require hard braking on a slippery surface, an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist
13 and Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) can be counted on to help you maintain control.
To help control a loss of traction in turns, the GX employs Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). This perceptive technology uses sensors to monitor factors
such as wheel speed, steering-wheel angle and your rate of travel in order to detect a skid. Should a loss of traction be detected, WSC instantly
determines which action’s needed—whether it be the application of brakes to individual wheels or a reduction of throttle—and then automatically
implements that action.
