12. Phenomena Peculiar to the System
1. WHEN TRAVELING WITH EXTREMELY UNDER
INFLATED TIRES
The TCS is apt to operate (particularly when turning) and,
when it operates, acceleration can become slow*. This
state is not abnormal. Immediately restore the tires to nor-
mal by traveling after releasing the TCS with the TCS OFF
switch.
* Poor acceleration is sometimes caused by the engine
itself. Check whether or not the TCS operating indicator
light (green) comes on to determine that the failure is
caused by the TCS control.
2. WHEN THE T TIRES ARE FITTED
The TCS is apt to operate (particularly when turning) and,
when it operates, acceleration can become slow. This state
is not abnormal. Immediately restore the tires to normal by
traveling after releasing the TCS with the TCS OFF switch.
3. WHEN OPERATING THE TCS CONTINUOUSLY ON
A SLOPE IMPOSSIBLE TO CLIMB OR IN STACK
S TAT E
When operating the TCS for a long time, it can be auto-
matically turned off (the OFF indicator light will come on),
stopping braking. This state is not abnormal. It automati-
cally resets by stopping and leaving the vehicle.
4. WHEN HEAVY LOAD IS PLACED ON THE BRAKES
If service brakes are used too often when descending a
long slope, heavy load can be placed on the brakes. To
prevent this problem, the TCS is automatically turned off
(the OFF indicator light will come on). This state is not
abnormal. Stop the vehicle and leave it in the same way as
step 3, it automatically resets.
5. KICKBACK TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN THE
ABS IS OPERATING
Compared with ABS of the AWD model system, pedal kick-
back with large amplitude of vibration and long cycle can
be felt. This is caused by the difference in system configu-
ration and, therefore, not abnormal. If you receive an
inquiry from your clients, fully explain this point.
