SUSPENSION

M2000023000158

A MacPherson strut suspension system is used, the 
leading type for passenger vehicles. This makes it as 
light as other passenger vehicles in its class, and the 
coil springs ensure greater handling stability. The 
crossmember, with a structure supporting elasticity, 
also improves noise control. 

Low-mount multilink independent suspension offers 
handling stability and riding comfort. Crossmembers 
with an elastic structure are used to reduce road 
noise, making the vehicle quieter.

BRAKING SYSTEM

2.4L engine models come with 15-inch ventilated 
disc front brakes, 3.8L engine models come with 
16-inch ventilated disc front brakes, and 16-inch 
solid discs rear brakes.
A 4-sensor, 4-channel Anti-lock Braking System 
(ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) 
is available.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCL)

The traction control system (TCL) controls engine 
output to prevent the wheelspin of  the drive wheels 
(front wheels) for improved standstill acceleration 
and stability. 
In general, drivers adjust pedal depression amounts 
to control engine output. When an action such an 
excessive pedal depression amount causes the spin 
of the drive wheels (front wheels), TCL controls the 
engine output instead of the driver to reduce the bur-
den on him.
