[QUOTE="cash1212, post: 3297994, member: 57981"] Not all Altezza's come with Traction control, as it is an optional accesorry in Japan. It all depends on the previous tezza owner in Japan whether he opted for it when he/she bought the car, same goes for LSD as well. A limited-slip differential is a differential designed to route some power away from a free-spinning wheel to the opposite wheel on the drive axle. As for Electronic Stability Control, Stability control helps keep the car in control during a skid or slide. It uses sensors to determine when the vehicle starts to veer off its path by looking at the steering input from the driver and the actual path of the vehicle. After sensing a skid, the computer can apply the antilock brakes to one or all of the wheels to keep the car pointed in the direction you want. It may also cut engine power if the computer determines it will keep the vehicle in control. In contrast, traction control’s purpose is to limit wheelspin during acceleration. It does this by applying the antilock brakes to the drive wheels only when slip is detected. Just like stability control, it can also cut engine power if you get overzealous with the throttle. Just about every manufacturer has a different name for its stability control system. Some can be rather ambiguous, such as Ford’s AdvanceTrac, but they all pretty much perform the same purpose and include the word “stability” or “control” somewhere in the name.
