When operating
When the VDC is in opera-
tion, the VDC indicator light
blinks:
• When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your VDC is
active.
•
When the VDC activates, the
engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under routine
conditions.
• If the Cruise Control was in use
when the VDC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen-
gaged when the road conditions
allow.
See “Cruise Control System”
later in this chapter.
(if equipped)
• When moving out of the mud or
driving on a slippery road, the
engine rpm (revolutions per minute)
may not increase even if you press
the accelerator pedal deeply. This is
to maintain the stability and traction
of the vehicle and does not indicate
a problem.
VDC OFF condition
To cancel VDC operation :
• State 1
Press the VDC OFF button shortly
(VDC OFF indicator light and mes-
sage illuminates). At this state, the
engine control function does not
operate. In other words, the traction
control function does not operate but
only the brake control function oper-
ates.
