road, be sure to install snow tires and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.
Skid control function
The skid control function operates at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch
should be operated when your vehicle is
stopped.
Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.
Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both
the stability control function and the traction
control function.
When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the engine speed to increase. In such
situations, temporarily turning off ASC with
the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to
move out your vehicle.
If you continue to press the “ASC OFF”
switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mis-
taken operation protection function” will
activate and the ASC will turn back on.
