 During a cornering, brake force (brake fluid pressu re) is applied on front wheel and rear wheel on the inner
side of turn. Moment directing towards the inner side of turn is generated. Understeer is prevented.
 Applying braking during a cornering on a slippery road, when understeer tendency is judged large, engine
output is controlled as well as brake force (brake fluid pressure) of four wheels. Understeer tendency
decreases.
TCS FUNCTION
TCS FUNCTION : System DescriptionINFOID:0000000006222573
 Wheel spin status of drive wheel is detected by wheel sensor of 4
wheels. Engine output and transmission shift status is controlled
so that slip rate of drive wheels is in appropriate level. When wheel
spin occurs on drive wheel, ABS ac tuator and electric unit (control
unit) perform brake force control of LH and RH drive wheels (apply
brake force by increasing brake fluid pressure of drive wheel) and
decrease engine torque by engine torque control. Wheel spin
amount decreases. Engine torque is controlled to appropriate
level.
 TCS function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by
operating VDC OFF switch. In this case, VDC OFF indicator lamp
turns ON.
 TCS function is not operate when 4WD mode is “4L”. (Models with
4WD system)
 VDC warning lamp blinking while TCS function is in operation and indicates to the driver that the function is in operation.
 Slight vibrations are felt on the brake pedal and the operation noises occur, when TCS function operates. This is not a malfunc-
tion because it is caused by TCS function that is normally oper-
ated.
 CONSULT-III can be used to diagnose the system diagnosis.
 Fail-safe function is adopted. W hen a malfunction occurs in TCS
function, the control is suspended for VDC function, TCS function,
hill start assist function and brake limited slip differential (BLSD)
function. The vehicle status becomes the same as models without VDC function, TCS function, hill start
assist function and brake limited slip differential (B LSD) function. However, ABS function and EBD function
are operated normally. Refer to BRC-25, "
Fail-safe".

SYSTEM
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
 Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) system provides a lane departure warning and brake control assistance
when the vehicle is driven at speeds of approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH) or more.
 When the vehicle approaches either the left or the right side of the traveling lane, a warning sounds and the
lane departure warning lamp (yellow) on the combinati on meter blinks to alert the driver. Then, the LDP sys-
tem automatically applies the brakes for a short period of ti me to help assist the driver to return the vehicle to
the center of the traveling lane.
 Warning and brake control are not performed during turn signal operation (lane change side).
 The warning and assist functions stop when the vehicl e returns to a position inside of the lane marker.
EXAMPLE
When the vehicle approaches the right lane marker, the driv er is alerted by the buzzer and the blinking of lane
departure warning lamp (yellow). Simultaneously, the left brake is controlled independently to generate force
toward the direction to recover the vehicle from the lane departure.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
 When the system is turned ON by dynamic driver a ssistance switch, ADAS control unit transmits LDP ON
indicator signal to combination meter via CAN communication.
 Lane camera unit monitors lane markers of the traveling lane. It transmits the detected lane condition signal to ADAS control unit via ITS communication.
 When judging from a lane marker detection signal that the vehicle is approaching the lane marker, ADAS
control unit controls the following items.
- Activates warning buzzer.
- Transmits a lane departure warning lamp signal to combination meter via CAN communication.
- Calculates necessary yaw moment to transmit a target yaw moment signal to ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) via CAN communication.
 When receiving the target yaw moment signal, ABS act uator and electric unit (control unit) controls brake
pressure of four wheels, respectively.
 When receiving the signal from ADAS control unit, combination meter turns ON/OFF the lane departure warning lamp (yellow) and the LDP ON indicator lamp (green).
OPERATING CONDITION
 LDP ON indicator lamp: ON
 Vehicle speed: approximately 70 km/h (45 MPH) or more
 Turn indicator signal: After 2 seconds or more from turned OFF
NOTE:
 When the LDP system setting on the navigation screen is ON.
