On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, 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
 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 limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of the
vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-
ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means
taking into account the traffic, road and envi-
ronmental conditions.
 Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.
 Do not install any aftermarket limited slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.
NOTE
 An operating sound or vibration may be
emitted from under the body in the following
situations. The sound or vibration is associ-
ated with checking the operations of the
ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock
from under the body and the brake pedal if
you depress it. These do not indicate a mal-
function.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put
in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while after
the engine is turned on.
 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.
 When the anti-lock braking system warning
light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
