VDC Functions

  1. In addition to the ABS/TCS function, VDC detects the driver's steering operation amount and brake operation amount from the steering angle sensor and pressure sensor. Using the information from the yaw rate/transverse G-sensor and wheel speed sensor, VDC judges the driving condition (conditions of understeer and oversteer) to improve the stability by controlling the brake on 4 wheels and engine output.
  2. During VDC operation, the SLIP indicator lamp flashes to inform the driver of the operation.
  3. During VDC operation, the body and the brake pedal lightly vibrate and their mechanical noise may be heard. This is a normal condition.
  4. If the vehicle is rotated on a turn table, or rolled and rocked on a ship, the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a normal road again. If the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn OFF after the restart, it is normal.
  5. When driving in a steep slope such as a bank, the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp may turn ON. In this case, start the engine on a normal road again. If the ABS warning lamp, VDC OFF indicator lamp, and SLIP indicator lamp turn off after the restart, it is normal.
