Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety by controlling
engine torque and braking.
When the TCS detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates
the brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automaticall ...
Fuel System
Purpose, Outline
A multiple hole type fuel injector has been adopted which provides higher
fuel injection accuracy for improved fuel efficiency and output.
Piston movement-compression by the 4-head cam inside the high pressure fuel
pump heightens the fuel pressure, achieving imp ...
