ASTC OFF indicator
This indicator will turn on when the
active stability control function is
deactivated by either of the following
operations:
CAUTION
When
indicator blinks, ASTC is operat-
ing, which means that the road is slippery or
that your vehicle’s wheels are beginning to
slip. If this happens, drive slower with less
accelerator input.
If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the warn-
ing display will appear and the warning
buzzer will sound intermittently to give a
warning to the driver. If the driver continues
driving even after the warning buzzer sounds
and then the temperature is further increased,
the warning display will appear again, and
the buzzer will sound continuously for sev-
eral seconds. To prevent the brake system
from overheating, the brake control of the
active traction control function will be tem-
porarily suspended. At this time, the
indi-
cator blinks slowly.
The engine control of the active traction con-
trol function and normal brake operation will
not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safe
place. When the temperature in the braking
system has come down, the
indicator will
be turned off and the active traction control
function will start operating again.
CAUTION
NOTE
The
indicator may turn on when you start
the engine. This means that the battery volt-
age momentarily dropped when the engine
was started. It does not indicate a malfunc-
tion, provided that the indicator goes out
immediately.
