When driving
Driver assist systems
When VSC or TRAC is operating
If the vehicle is in danger of slip-
ping or the rear wheels spin, the
slip indicator light flashes to indi-
cate that the systems have been
engaged.
A buzzer (intermittent) sounds
when VSC is operating.
To help enhance vehicle safety, the following systems operate automatically in
certain driving conditions.
■ ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
Help ensures steering performance in the event of sudden braking or
driving on slippery road surfaces.
■ BA (Brake Assist)
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
pushed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
■ VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turn-
ing on slippery road surfaces.
■ TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps maintains drive power and prevents spinning the rear wheels
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
