DOOR MIRROR
M2510008100154
The door mirror is a folded type and has the following
characteristics.
•Features an electric retractable remote controlled
mirror.
•Vehicle speed-dependent automatic return func-
tion.
•A vertically-enlarged mirror has been used for
easy confirmation of safety around the vehicle.
•Aerodynamic door mirror shape have been devel-
oped so that the door glasses and mirrors do not
easily get wet with raindrops while driving in a
rainy day.
•Flag type door mirror shape which secures suffi-
cient distance between the door mirror and delta
pillar has been adopted to reduce the blind spot
area of the forward view.

NOTE: Whether the door mirrors are at the unfolding
or folding position is determined according to the
memory of the door mirror fold relay operated previ
-
ously. For this reason, if the door mirrors are manu-
ally retracted, they may not move when the
unfolding/folding switch on the fold switch remote
controlled mirror switch is pressed next time.

GENERAL
ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)35C-2
GENERAL
M2357000200040
The active stability control system (ASC) has been
installed to the M/T vehicle.
•The active stability control system (ASC) has the
stability control and the traction control (TCL)
functions. By the integrated control with the
anti-lock brake system, the system stabilises the
vehicle attitude and at the same time secures the
driving force.
•When the stability control function determines
that the vehicle is in a dangerous condition, it
reduces the engine output and applies brake
force to four wheels independently to control the
vehicle behaviour, avoiding the critical state.
•The traction control (TCL) function prevents the
driving wheel slip on a slippery road surface,
ensuring easy startup, and at the same time,
secures proper driving force and improves steer
-
ing performance during cornering acceleration.
•Fail-safe function assures the security.
•Serviceability improvement
•For wiring harness saving and secure data com-
munication, the CAN* communication has been
adopted as a tool of communication with another
ECU.
NOTE: .
•*For more information about CAN (Controller
Area Network), refer to GROUP 54C
P.54C-2.
•ABS and ASC are controlled by ASC-ECU.

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
ACTIVE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ASC)35C-24
Traction control operation
ASC-ECU receives various kinds of information from
the engine ECU, steering wheel sensor, G and yaw
rate sensor, and wheel speed sensor. When
ASC-ECU determines that the driving wheel is slip
-
ping, it suppresses the wheel slippage. At this time,
ASC-ECU controls the brake fluid pressure of the
driving wheel determined to be slipping so that the
torque is transferred to another driving wheel. The operations of suction valve, cut valve, and solenoid
valve are basically the same as that of the stability
control. ASC-ECU and the engine ECU communi
-
cate with each other via CAN bus line. When the
accelerator pedal is depressed too far, the signal
requesting the engine output reduction is sent to the
engine ECU so that the TCL controllability can be
secured.
