Both systems come on automatically when
t
he vehicle is started and begins to move.
The systems may be heard or felt while they
are operating or while performing diagnostic
checks. This is normal and does not mean there
is aproblem with the vehicle.
It is recommended to leave both systems on
for normal driving conditions, but it may be

If either system fails to turn on or to activate,
a

Center (DIC), and d comes on and stays on to
indicate that the system is inactive and is not
assisting the driver in maintaining control. The

adjusted accordingly.
If d comes on and stays on:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 seconds.
3. Start the engine.
Drive the vehicle. If d comes on and stays on,
the vehicle may need more time to diagnose
the problem. If the condition persists, see your
dealer.
