CAUTION
l
Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction
and control of the vehicle in all circumstan-
ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents.
It is the driver’s responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the
traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all four wheels. Otherwise,
the ASC may not work properly.
l Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.
NOTE
l An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated with checking
the operations of the ASC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you
depress it. These do not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
• When the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the engine is turned on.
NOTE
l
When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from ex-
cessive spinning, thus helping the vehicle to
start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTION
l When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.
Stability control function
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the engine
output and brake on each wheel.
NOTE
l
The stability control function operates at
speeds of approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or
higher.
ASC OFF switch
The ASC is automatically activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON. You can
deactivate the system by pressing down the
ASC OFF switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the ASC is deactivated, the display/
indicator will turn on. To reactivate the ASC,
momentarily press the ASC OFF switch; the
indicator is turned off.
