SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• Side slip or tail slip may occur while driving on a slippery road or intending an urgent evasive driving maneu- ver. VDC function detects side slip status using each s ensor when side slip or tail slip is about to occur and
improves vehicle stability by brake c ontrol and engine output control during driving.
• In addition to ABS function, EBD function and TCS functi on, target side slip amount is calculated according
to steering operation amount from steering angle sensor. By comparing this information with vehicle side slip
amount that is calculated from information from yaw rate/side G sensor and wheel sensor, vehicle driving
conditions (conditions of understeer or oversteer) are judged and vehicle stability is improved by brake force
control on all 4 wheels and engine output control.
• VDC function can be switched to non-operational status (OFF) by operating VDC OFF switch. In this case,
VDC OFF indicator lamp turns ON.
• Control unit portion automatically improves driving st ability by performing brake force control as well as
engine output control, by transmitting drive signal to actuator portion according to difference between target
side slip amount and vehicle side slip amount

9. Put alignment marks on disc rotor and wheel hub and bearing assembly, then remove disc rotor.
10. Using a piece of wood and a hammer, tap on the lock nut to dis- engage drive shaft from wheel hub.
CAUTION:
• Do not place drive shaft joint to an extreme angle. Also be careful not to over extend slide joint.
• Do not allow drive shaft to hang down without support.
