NOTE
●
In the following situation, a click is heard from the engine
compartment. However, this is only the sound of ASC
being checked.
• After turning the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
• After your vehicle is driven a short distance after start-
ing the engine.
●
Some vibration will be felt in the vehicle body and a
whining sound of the motor will be heard from the engine
compartment when the ASC functions. This is a normal
result of the ASC operation and does not indicate a mal-
function.
●
The ASC does not operate while the ABS warning lamp is
illuminated.
CAUTION
!
●
Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even when the ASC is
operating, there are limits to the system and its abil-
ity to maintain control and traction. Reckless driv-
ing may lead to accidents. 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 ASC will not work properly.
