- Active trace control function is calculated by ADAS control unit and transmits command to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
- This system senses driving based on the driver's steering and acceleration/braking patterns, and individually controls the braking and application of engine torque to each of the four wheels to help smooth vehicle response.
- When the drive mode selector switch is set to the "SPORT" mode, the amount of brake control provided by Active trace control function is reduced.
- When the VDC OFF switch is turn OFF the VDC function, the Active trace control function is also turned OFF.
- Active trace control function is malfunctioning properly, the IBA OFF indicator lamp turns ON.

Effect to decrease delay of vehicle yaw rate in response to steering operation may not always be obtained in all driving conditions (example: when road surface resistance is low).
