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
◆
Enhanced VSC (Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control)
Provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stability when swerving on slippery
road surfaces by controlling steering performance
◆
TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from
spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆
Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when start-
ing on an uphill
◆
EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to
turn the steering wheel.
To keep driving safety and performance, the following systems
operate automatically in response to various driving situations.

should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehi-
