New Evo X Technologies: S-AWC Integrated Management

S-AWC Super All Wheel Control - S-AWC Management
July 12, 2007 -- Cypress, Calif. --

* What S-AWC aims to achieve
To reflect driver intent when accelerating, decelerating, or cornering under all driving conditions using integrated management of brake force and drive torque at each of the four wheels.

* Features
1. Fully integrated management of ACD, AYC, ABS, and ASC component systems.
2. Addition of engine torque, brake pressure, and yaw rate data allows S-AWC to more accurately determine whether the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating.
3. Adoption of yaw rate feedback control realizes vehicle behavior that allows driver inputs more faithfully.
4. Incorporation of brake force control in the AYC system assists control of vehicle behavior in on-the-limit driving situations.
