patterns, and controls brake pressure at  
individual wheels to aid tracing at corners  
and help smooth vehicle response.  
Intelligent Trace Control can be set to ON  
(enabled) or OFF (disabled) through the

INTELLIGENT ENGINE BRAKE (Con-  
tinuously Variable Transmission  
(CVT) models)  
The Intelligent Engine Brake function  
adds subtle deceleration by controlling  
CVT gear ratio, depending on the corner-  
ing condition calculated from driver’s  
steering input and plural sensors. This  
benefit to easier traceability and less  
workload of adjusting speed with braking  
at corners.  
The Intelligent Engine Brake also adds  
subtle deceleration with gear ratio con-  
trol according to driver’s brake pedal  
operation.  
The Intelligent Engine Brake can be set to  
ON (enabled) or OFF (disabled) through
