■Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer
sway by selectively applying brake
pressure for individual wheels and
reducing driving torque when trailer
sway is detected.
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA)
Helps to prevent the vehicle from
drifting to the outer side by perform-
ing inner wheel brake control when
attempting to accelerate while turn-
ing
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■Secondary Collision Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and help reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway
Control systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the
TRC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control systems
are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the TRC system may reduce
power from the engine to the wheels.
Pressing to turn the system off may
make it easier for you to rock the vehicle
in order to free it.
To turn the TRC system off, quickly
press and release .

If any of the SRS airbags deploy (inflate) or in the event of a strong rear impact, the interior lights will turn on automati-
cally. The interior lights will turn off automati-cally after approximately 20 minutes.
The interior lights can be turned off man- ually. However, in order to help prevent further collisions, it is recommended that
they be left on until safety can be ensured.(The interior lights may not turn on auto-
matically depending on the force of the impact and conditions of the collision.)
