Stability control function
E00619101115
The stability control function is designed to
help the driver maintain control of the vehicle
on slippery roads or during rapid steering ma-
noeuvres. It works by controlling the engine
output and brake on each wheel.
NOTE
l
The stability control function operates at
speeds of approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or
higher.
ASC OFF switch
E00619201783
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
indicator is turned off.
CAUTION
l
For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch
should be operated when your vehicle is
stopped.
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.
NOTE
l
By pressing the “ASC OFF” switch, both the
stability control function and the traction
control function are turned OFF.
l
If you continue to press the ASC OFF switch
after the ASC is turned off, the “mistaken
operation protection function” will activate
and the ASC will turn back on.
