ASC OFF switch
CAUTION
 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.
NOTE
 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.
ASC operation display or ASC
OFF indicator
-
ASC operation display/ASC indicator
The display/indicator will blink when
the ASC is operating.
-
ASC OFF indicator
This indicator will turn on when the
ASC is turned off with the “ASC
OFF” switch.
CAUTION
 When display/indicator blinks, ASC is
operating, which means that the road is slip-
pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin-
ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower.
 If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the
indicator will blink. To prevent the brake
system from overheating, the brake control
of the traction control function will be tem-
porarily suspended. The engine control of
the traction control 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 traction control function will start operat-
ing again.
