The ABS operates atspeeds above3to 6MPH
(5 to10 km/h) .The speed variesaccording to
road conditions.
When theABS senses thatoneormore wheels
are close tolocking up,the actuator rapidly
applies andreleases hydraulic pressure. This
action issimilar topumping thebrakes very
quickly .You may feelapulsation inthe brake
pedal andhear anoise fromunder thehood or
feel avibration fromtheactuator whenitis
operating. Thisisnormal andindicates thatthe
ABS isoperating properly.However, thepulsa-

The Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC)system
uses various sensors tomonitor driverinputs
and vehicle motion. Undercertain drivingcon-
ditions, theVDC system helpstoperform the
following functions.
. Controls brakepressure toreduce wheel
slip onone slipping drivewheel sopower is
transferred toanon slipping drivewheel on
the same axle.
. Controls brakepressure andengine output
to reduce drivewheel slipbased onvehicle
speed (traction controlfunction) .
. Controls brakepressure atindividual wheels

control ofthe vehicle inthe following
conditions:
Ð understeer (vehicletendstonot follow

Ð oversteer (vehicletendstospin dueto
