Operation Characteristics

Active trace control helps enhance the transition from braking into and then accelerating out of corners. Active trace control utilizes the vehicle's electrically-driven intelligent brake system to help improve cornering feel by automatically applying brakes. Furthermore, Active trace control will apply selective braking to help create increased steering response in S-turns. For example, if driving through an S-turn that starts with steering to the right, the right-side brakes are engaged to create a yaw moment and help turn the vehicle.

• During cornering, the brake control system limits changes in steering angle by controlling the inner ring brakes according to accelerator pedal operation and allows smooth movement of the vehicle to achieve stable cornering.

• When performing quick lane changes, and other excessive steering operations, the brake is operated automatically, and erratic vehicle behavior due to steering operation is reduced.
