NOTE
●
Immediately after the vehicle starts moving after engine
start up, a whining sound of a motor will be heard from
the engine compartment. If the brake pedal is depressed at
that moment, a brake pedal pulsating is felt.
This whining sound and pulsation are due to the self-diag-
nosis operation of the traction control system (TCL)/
active stability control system (ASC) and does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
●
Some vibration will be felt in the vehicle body and a
whining sound of a motor will be heard from the engine
compartment when the traction control system (TCL)/
active stability control system (ASC) functions. This is a
normal result of the traction control system (TCL)/active
stability control system (ASC) operation, and does not
indicate a malfunction.
●
The traction control system (TCL)/active stability control
system (ASC) does not operate while the ABS warning
lamp is illuminated.
CAUTION
!
●
Do not over-rely on the traction control system
(TCL)/active stability control system (ASC). Even
when the traction control system (TCL)/active sta-
bility control system (ASC) is operating, there are
limits to the system and its ability to maintain con-
trol and traction. Reckless driving may lead to acci-
dents. Always drive carefully, taking account of the
road conditions.
●
Be sure to use the same specified type and size of
tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, there is a possibility
that the traction control system (TCL)/active stabil-
ity control system (ASC) will not work properly.
