VDC Function
- In addition to the ABS/TCS function, the driver steering amount and brake operation amount are detected from the steering angle sensor, and the vehicle's driving status (amount of under steering/over steering) is determined using inputs from the yaw rate/side/decel G sensor, wheel speed sensors, etc. and this information is used to improve vehicle stability by controlling the braking and engine torque application to the wheels.
- The SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of VDC operation.
- During VDC operation, the vehicle body and brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is normal.
- The ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on when the vehicle is subject to strong shaking or large vibration, such as when the vehicle is on a turn table or a ship while the engine is running or steep slope. In this case, restart the engine on a normal road and if the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp turn off, there is no problem.
