NOTE
l
The stability control function operates at

“ASC OFF” switch
The ASC is automatically activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON. You can
deactivate the system by pressing down the
“ASC OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the ASC is deactivated, the
display/
indicator will turn on. To reactivate the ASC,
momentarily press the “ASC OFF” switch;
the
display/indicator is turned off.
CAUTION
l
For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch
should be operated when your vehicle is
stopped.
CAUTION
l
Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in
normal circumstances.
NOTE
l
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 the ASC
with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it
easier to move out your vehicle.
l
Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both
the stability control function and the traction
control function.
l
If you continue to press the “ASC OFF”
switch after the ASC is turned off, the “mis-
taken operation protection function” will ac-
tivate and the ASC will turn back on.

tor
The display/indicator will blink
when the ASC is operating.

NOTE
l
The combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.
CAUTION
l
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
with less accelerator input.
l
If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the dis-
play/indicator will blink. To prevent the
brake system from overheating, the brake
control of the traction control function will
be temporarily 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 display/indi-
cator will be turned off and the traction con-
trol function will start operating again.
