2 -4 . U sing ot he r driving syst e m s Driving a ssist syst e m s To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems operate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehicle. n Multi Terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface, or in offroad conditions (such as rough roads, sand and mud). n Brake assist Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation. n VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery road surfaces. n Active TRAC (Traction Control) Maintains drive power and prevents the 4 wheels from spinning when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads. n Hill-start assist control Helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting on an incline or slippery slope. It operates for approximately 5 seconds at maximum. n KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) KDSS enhances ride comfort and handling response by using a hydraulic control system to control the suspension stabilizer bars in response to road surface and driving conditions during cornering or offroad driving. n PCS (Pre-Collision System) (if equipped) →P. 219 212
