When driving
■ If the brake system overheats
TRAC or A-TRAC will cease operation, and the slip indicator will change
from flashing to being on continuously to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place. (There is no problem with continuing normal driving.)
■ Shifting to 4L position
The VSC OFF indicator will come on.
If the center differential is locked, VSC and Trailer Sway Control are auto-
matically turned off.
■ Power steering system operation sound
When you turn the engine switch to ON after the battery has been discon-
nected and reconnected, a sound may be heard from the engine compart-
ment.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
Any of the following conditions may result in an accident which could cause
death or serious injury.
■ The ABS does not operate effectively when
● The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
● The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on the wet or slick
road.
■ Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the fol-
lowing situations.
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
● When driving with tire chains
● When driving over bumps in the road
● When driving over roads with potholes or roads with uneven roads
