Which versions of the Prado have KDSS?
1 Answers
The 2019 Toyota Prado 4000 VXR is equipped with KDSS. Below is an introduction to the KDSS system in the Toyota Prado: 1. The KDSS system in the Prado uses front and rear stabilizers cross-connected via a bidirectional hydraulic pipeline and hydraulic cylinder system. During normal driving when the vehicle experiences body roll, the suspension on the same side undergoes similar degrees of compression or extension, maintaining balance in the hydraulic cylinders. Through ingenious mechanical design, the system prevents fluid circulation between the front and rear stabilizers, allowing them to function as anti-roll bars, thereby minimizing further body roll. 2. When encountering rough terrain, the suspension on each wheel experiences varying degrees of compression or extension, disrupting the balance in the hydraulic cylinders and allowing fluid to flow freely within the circuit. In this scenario, the stabilizers no longer function as anti-roll bars but act merely as suspension links, providing greater suspension travel. 3. If the vehicle speed exceeds 60 km/h, the front and rear anti-roll bar system increases roll damping to enhance stability on highways. Conversely, at speeds below this threshold, roll damping is reduced to provide greater traction for off-road driving. This feature proves particularly useful when navigating large potholes, ensuring maximum traction.
