C300B01L-GAT TCS ON/OFF Mode In the TCS ON mode, the indicator in the instrument cluster will not be illumi- nated.To switch the TCS OFF mode, pressthe TCS switch . The SLIP control willbe deactivated and the TCS indicatorin the instrument cluster will be illumi- nated. NOTE:
1) Stop the engine once. Then re-
start the engine, and the TCS mode will automatically turn ON.
2) When the traction control is op- erating properly, you can feel a slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is only the effect of brakecontrol and indicates nothingunusual.
On slippery road surfaces, the tractioncontrol system (TCS) limits the drivewheels from spinning excessively, thushelping the car to accelerate. It alsoprovides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the car turns at accelerated speeds. SLIP Control Limits the drive wheels from spinning excessively during starting or whilemaking accelerated turns on slippery roads to avoid losing the driving force of the front wheels. Driving hints TCS does not actively apply brakes. Be sure to decelerate the car suffi- ciently before entering curves.
CAUTION:
When the TCS indicator blinks, SLIP control function has been activat-ed. It also means that the road isslippery or your car is accelerating excessively. In this situation, re- lease foot pressure from the accel-erator pedal and maintain moder-ate speed.

C170A01A-AAT HIGH SPEED MOTORING Pre-Trip Inspections 1. Tires: Adjust the tire inflation pressures tospecification. Low tire inflation pres-sures will result in overheating andpossible failure of the tires. Avoid using worn or damaged tires which may result in reduced traction ortire failure. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tire in- flation pressure shown on the tires. 2. Fuel, engine coolant and engine oil: High speed travel consumes 1.5 timesmore fuel than urban motoring. Do notforget to check both engine coolantand engine oil. 3. Drive belt: A loose or damaged drive belt mayresult in overheating of the engine.
