ACTIVE STABILITY ASSIST: System Description: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Infiniti M35h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Combination of Active Trace Control function (function of the electrically-driven intelligent brake), Rise-up & Build-up function (function of the electrically-driven intelligent brake) and Brake force distribution function [function of the ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)] is named to as Active stability assist. Active Trace Control function is available for models with ICC system.
- Active stability assist system is aimed to smooth the vehicle movement utilizing electrically-driven intelligent brake and VDC function for enjoyable driving with reliable feeling of the driver.
- Active Trace Control function
- 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, or smoothening engine/traction motor torque characteristics while accelerating. 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. When steering back to the left, left-side brakes are engaged. Refer to
"ACTIVE STABILITY ASSIST: ACTIVE TRACE CONTROL FUNCTION ".
- Rise-up & Build-up function
- Rise-up & Build-up gives the drivers secure brake feeling with optimized braking characteristics according to the amount of brake operation and the behavior of vehicle. Refer to
"ACTIVE STABILITY ASSIST: RISE-UP & BUILD-UP FUNCTION ".
- Brake Force Distribution function
- Brake force distribution function is refer to "ACTIVE STABILITY ASSIST: BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION ".
- Active Trace Control can be switched to operational status or non-operational status by operating VDC OFF switch to ON/OFF.
