Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and performance , the following systems 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 .
Summary of the driving assist systems
■ ECB ( Electronically Controlled Brake System )
The electronically controlled system generates braking force corresponding to the brake operation
■ 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 .
■ Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer sway by selectively applying brake pressure for individual wheels and reducing driving torque when trailer sway is detected .
■ TRAC ( Traction Control )
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the drive wheels from spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
■ Active Cornering Assist ( ACA )
Helps to prevent the vehicle from drifting to the outer side by performing inner wheel brake control when attempting to accelerate while turning
■ Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on an uphill
■ EPS ( Electric Power Steering )
Employs an electric motor to reduce the amount of effort needed to turn the steering wheel .
