stability and riding comfort.
Safety
Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control
By monitoring steering angle and vehicle direction, VSC detects traction loss
and takes measures to help prevent lateral slippage of the front and rear
wheels. This enhances vehicle stability. Additionally, TRC helps prevent the
drive wheels from skidding when starting or accelerating on a slippery surface.
It also helps maintain on wet, icy or uneven surfaces.
Anti-lock Braking System with Electronic Brake-force Distribution
ABS helps prevent tyre lock in sudden braking situations and EBD distributes
optimum braking power to each wheel as necessary, both contributing to superior
braking power and vehicle stability in all driving
conditions.
