Combination meter

Mainly receives the following signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN 
communication:
• Brake fluid level switch signal
• Parking brake switch signal
Mainly receives the following signals from ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN

[VDC/TCS/ABS]

SYSTEM

• Brake force distribution function helps provide a more stable and

secure feeling.

• During cornering, when brake operation is performed brake fluid

pressure of each wheel is controlled based on steering operation

amount by the driver and vehicle cornering status amount detected

by each sensor.

• Fail-safe function is adopted. When a malfunction occurs in Brake

force distribution function, the control is suspended for VDC func-

tion, TCS function, Brake limited slip differential (BLSD) function,

Brake assist function, hill start assist function and Brake force dis-

tribution function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models

without VDC function, TCS function, Brake limited slip differential

(BLSD) function, Brake assist function, hill start assist function and

Brake force distribution function. However, ABS function and EBD

function are operated normally. Refer to 

BRC-20, "Fail-Safe"

.

NOTE:

Brake force distribution function may not always be operates in all driving conditions.

ACTIVE TRACE CONTROL FUNCTION
ACTIVE TRACE CONTROL FUNCTION : System Description

INFOID:0000000011280581

• Active trace control function controls the braking utilizing the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit),

depending on cornering condition calculated from driver's steering input and plural sensors.

• Active trace control function is aimed to enhance traceability at corners and smooth the vehicle movement to

provide confident driving.

• When the drive mode select switch is set to the “SPORT” mode, the amount of brake control provided by

active trace control is reduced.

• For “PERSONAL” mode, the active trace control can be selected ON or OFF. Refer to 

BRC-37, "ACTIVE

TRACE CONTROL FUNCTION : System Description"

.

• When the VDC OFF switch is used to turn OFF the VDC system, the active trace control system is also

turned OFF.

• When the active trace control is operated, active trace control graphics are shown on the information display

of combination meter. These are shown only when “Chassis control” is selected on the information display.

Refer to 

DAS-185, "System Description - Chassis Control"

.

• When the active trace control is not functioning properly, the master warning lamp illuminates. Warning mes-

sage “Chassis control” will also appear on information display.

NOTE:

• The active trace control may not be effective depending on the driving condition. Always driving carefully and

attentively.

• Brake pedal may vibrate and brake pedal feel may change during active trace control operation. Also opera-

tion noise may be noticeable during operation. These are not abnormal conditions.

• When the active trace control is selected OFF, some functions will be kept ON to assist driver. (For example,

avoidance condition.)

[VDC/TCS/ABS]

SYSTEM

Active trace control helps enhance the transition from braking into

and then accelerating out of corners. Active trace control utilizes the

vehicle

′s electrically-driven intelligent brake system to help improve

cornering feel by automatically applying brakes. Furthermore, Active

trace control will apply selective braking to help create increased

steering response in S-turns. For example, if driving through an S-

turn that starts with steering to the right, the right-side brakes are

engaged to create a yaw momentum and help turn the vehicle.

• Brake control amount is controlled according to steering operation status by the driver and vehicle cornering

status.
