3Active stability control (ASC)
N00559100121
The active stability control (ASC) takes overall control of the
anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function to help maintain the vehicle’s control and trac-
tion. Please read this section in conjunction with the pages on
the anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function.
Anti-lock braking system → P. 3 - 1 2 4
Traction control function → P.3-129
Skid control function → P.3-129

CAUTION
!Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on
the vehicle. This system, like any other system, has
limits and cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless
driving can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking
into account the traffic, road and environmental
conditions.Be sure to use the same specified type and size of tire
on all four wheels. Otherwise, the ASC may not
work properly.Do not install any aftermarket limited-slip differen-
tial (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop func-
tioning properly.

NOTEAn operation noise may be emitted from the engine com-
partment in the following situations. The sound is associ-
ated with checking the operations of the ASC. At this
time, you may feel a shock from the brake pedal if you
depress it. These do not indicate a malfunction.
• When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is
turned on.
When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in
the vehicle body or hear a whining sound from the engine
compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.
When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illu-
minated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function
N00559200021
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the
drive wheels from spinning excessive, thus helping the vehicle
to start moving from a stopped condition. It also provides suffi-
cient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle
turns while pressing the acceleration pedal.Skid control function
N00546800010
The skid control function is designed to help the driver main-
tain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid
steering maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine output
and the brake on each wheel.NOTEThe skid control function operates at speeds of about
9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
CAUTION
!When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be
sure to install snow tires and drive the vehicle at
moderate speeds.

To activate
N00518400327
1. With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, press the
“ON OFF” switch (A) to turn on the cruise control. The
“CRUISE” indicator light in the meter cluster will come
on.
NOTEIf the cruise control is on when the ignition switch is
turned to “LOCK” or “ACC” position, cruise control will
be on automatically the next time you start the engine.
The “CRUISE” indicator light will also be on.
If the battery voltage is insufficient, the memory data for
the cruise control may be erased.
As a result, the “CRUISE” indicator light may not come
on when you restart the engine.
If this happens, press the “ON OFF” switch once again to
turn on the cruise control.
2. Confirm that the Twin Clutch SST control mode is set to
“Normal”.
Refer to “Twin Clutch SST control mode” on page 3-103.NOTEThe cruising speed cannot be set when the Twin Clutch
SST control mode is set to “Sport” mode or “S-Sport”
mode.

Average speed displayThis displays the average speed from the last reset to the
present.
There are 2 types of mode settings as follows.
For details on how to change the average speed display setting,
refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition switch
in the “ON” position)” on page 3-172.
Manual reset mode
When the average speed is being displayed, if you hold
down the multi-information meter switch, these calcula-
tions will be reset to zero.
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
from the “ACC” or “LOCK” position, the mode setting
changes automatically from manual to auto.
Switching to auto occurs automatically. If switching to
manual mode is done, however, the data from the last
reset is displayed.
Auto reset mode
When the average speed is being displayed, if you hold
down the multi-information meter switch, these calcula-
tions will be reset to zero.
When the ignition switch has been set to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position for about 4 hours or more, the average
speed display will automatically reset.
NOTEThe average speed display and the average fuel consump-
tion display can be reset separately in both auto reset
mode and manual reset mode.
“---” is displayed when the average speed cannot be mea-
sured.
The initial (default) setting is “Auto reset mode”.
The display setting can be changed to the preferred units
(mph or km/h).
Refer to “Changing the function settings (With ignition
switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-172.
The average speed display memories for auto reset mode
and manual reset mode are erased if the battery is discon-
nected.Average fuel consumption displayThis displays the average fuel consumption from the last reset
to the present.
There are 2 types of mode settings as follows.
For details on how to change the average fuel consumption dis-
play setting, refer to “Changing the function settings (With
ignition switch in the “ON” position)” on page 3-172.
The “ ” mark in the momentary fuel gauge shows the average
fuel consumption.
Manual reset mode
When the average fuel consumption is being displayed, if
you hold down the multi-information meter switch, these
calculations will be reset to zero.
