Driving assist systems

When VSC and TRAC are operating

If the vehicle is in danger of slip-
ping or the front wheels spin, the
indicator flashes to indicate that
VSC/TRAC have been engaged.

To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle.

■

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)

Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.

■

Brake assist

Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.

■

VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)

Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.

■

TRAC (Traction Control)

Maintains drive power and prevent the front wheels from spinning when
starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
