General Information: Notes

Traction Control/Active Skid Control System (TCL/ASC) is available for AWD models as optional equipment.

The Traction Control/Active Skid Control System is a combination system of active skid control system and traction control system. The active skid control system avoids a dangerous vehicle attitude by limiting the engine output and braking a set of wheels (front left and right rear, or right front and left rear) according to driving conditions. The traction control system prevents wheel spinning at vehicle start.
Fail-safe function ensures safety is maintained
Diagnostic function provides improved serviceability
To shorten the lines and enhance data transmission reliability, communication with other ECU is performed over a CAN (Controller Area Network).
