General Information: Notes

Active Stability Control System (ASC) has been installed.

• The ASC system integrates the traction control (TCL) function and skid control function.
• When TCL detects the slip of the driving wheel (ex. during startup on low mu road), it automatically applies the brakes to the slipping driving wheel. At the same time, TCL reduces the engine output and prevents the wheel spin when it determines that the engine torque is too high for the road surface mu.
• When the ASC-ECU determines that the vehicle is in a dangerous condition, it reduces the engine output and applies brake force to four wheels independently to control the vehicle behavior, avoiding the critical state.
• Integrated control of ABS, ASC, S-AWC is performed to improve the cornering performance, driving performance, vehicle stability.< Vehicles with S-AWC >
• Fail-safe function assures the security.
• Serviceability improvement
• For wiring harness saving and secure data communication, the CAN communication has been adopted as a tool of communication with another ECU.
• Hill Start Assist (HSA) function has been adopted to hold and prevent the roll back of the vehicle when the vehicle is on a slope and the foot is transferred from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal < Vehicles with HSA >.
