- Active stability assist system is aimed to smooth the vehicle movement utilizing FDC function for enjoyable driving with reliable feeling of the driver.
- Active trace control function
- Active Trace Control helps enhance the transition from braking into and then accelerating out of corners. Active Trace Control utilizes the vehicle's FDC system to help improve cornering feel by automatically applying brakes, or smoothening engine torque characteristics while accelerating. Furthermore, Active Trace Control will apply selective braking to help create increased steering response in S-turns. For example, if driving through an S-turn that starts with steering to the right, the right-side brakes are engaged to create a yaw moment and help turn the vehicle. When steering back to the left, left-side brakes are engaged. Refer to
