Traction control function
E00619000087
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
E00619101098
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 Plugin
Hybrid EV System output and the brake on
each wheel.
NOTE
l The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
E00619201741
The ASC is automatically activated when the
operation mode is put in ON. You can deacti-
vate 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.
CAUTION
l For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch
should be operated when your vehicle is
stopped.
l Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.
CAUTION
l In case you turn off the ASC to move out
from mud or sand etc., press the ASC OFF
switch to activate the ASC quickly after
moving out, and do not turn off the ASC un-
less it is necessary.
l If it continues racing the tyre by depressing
the accelerator pedal too much while ASC is
turned off, parts such as the transaxle may
be damaged and this could lead to an unex-
pected accident.
NOTE
l When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the Plug-in Hybrid EV System output
to increase. In such situations, switching to
“4WD LOCK” with 4WD lock switch and
temporarily turning off the Active Stability
control (ASC) with the ASC OFF switch
will make it easier to move out your vehicle.
Refer to “Operation under adverse driving
conditions: If your vehicle becomes stuck in
sand, mud or snow” on page 9-26.
l By pressing the “ASC OFF” switch, both the
stability control function and the traction
control function are turned OFF.
l If you continue to press the ASC OFF switch
after the ASC is turned off, the “mistaken
operation protection function” will activate
and the ASC will turn back on.
