VDC Function, TCS Function, Brake Limited Slip Differential (BLSD) Function, Brake Assist Function, Brake Force Distribution Function
VDC warning lamp in combination meter turn ON when a malfunction occurs in system [ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)]. The control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, brake assist function, Brake force distribution function, Rise-up & Build-up function (function of electrically-driven intelligent brake) and Active Trace Control function (function of electrically-driven intelligent brake). The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function, brake assist function, Brake force distribution function, Rise-up & Build-up function (function of electrically-driven intelligent brake) and Active Trace Control function (function of electrically-driven intelligent brake). However, ABS function and EBD function are operated normally.
