System Description: Notes

The steering operation condition by the driver and the information from multiple sensors are computed by the chassis control module (with built in steering angle sensor), and a command is transmitted to the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit).
The ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) controls the brake based on the command from the chassis control module (with built in steering angle sensor).
When cornering, driver operation is reduced and vehicle behavior is smoothened.
When the VDC function is turned OFF with the VDC OFF switch, intelligent trace control function also turns OFF.
When the intelligent trace control function operates, operation display can be checked on the information display in the combination meter. However, when assist control operates to an excessive degree during cornering, this is not displayed.
The intelligent trace control function can be turned ON/OFF by operating the steering switch. However, even when turned OFF, a portion of functions (emergency avoidance, etc.) turn ON.
When a malfunction occurs in intelligent trace control function, the master warning lamp illuminates and the information display in the combination meter informs the driver.

NOTE:

Intelligent trace control function may not be effective in all driving environments (traction conditions, etc.).
When intelligent trace control function operates, vibration may be transmitted to the brake pedal, an operation sound may be heard, and a feeling of deceleration may be felt. These are not symptoms of malfunctions and indicate normal operating conditions.
Even when intelligent trace control function OFF is selected with chassis control setting, it is not turned completely OFF continues to provide assistance in scenes where steering load is in the high excess range (emergency avoidance, etc.).
