Enhanced VSC System
The enhanced VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) system is standard equipment on all models.
In addition to the ABS, TRAC, and VSC controls provided by the conventional system, the enhanced
VSC system effects cooperative control with the EPS (Electric Power Steering) and active torque control
4WD system in order to realize excellent driving stability and maneuverability.
See CH-92 for details on the enhanced VSC system.
Hill-start Assist Control
The hill-start assist control is standard equipment on the 2GR-FE engine models and the models with rear
No. 2 seat.
When the driver transfers his/ her foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal while starting off on
an uphill, the hill-start assist control momentarily maintains the hydraulic pressure in the wheel cylinders
of the four wheels, in order to prevent the vehicle from rolling backward.
The hill-start assist control used on the ’06 model effects control to prevent the vehicle from rolling
backward. This control has evolved further from the hill-start assist control of the ’05 model, which
slowed the backward rolling of the vehicle while starting off on a hill.
See CH-120 for details on the hill-start assist control.
