Stability Control function or active traction
control function is operating.
indication lamp is illuminated when the
Active Stability Control function is OFF.
CAUTIONl When indication lamp blinks, Active Sta-
bility Control function or active traction con- trol function is operating, which means that
the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are slipping excessively. If this hap-
pens, drive slower with less accelerator in-
put.CAUTIONl If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem while driving, the indication lamp
will illuminate.
In these cases, follow these procedures:
• If the temperature in the braking system
continues to increase due to continuous brake control on a slippery road surface,
the
indication lamp will illuminate, and
operation of the Active Stability Control function and active traction control func-
tion will be suspended to protect the brake
system. (Normal operation of the vehicle will not be affected.) Park your vehicle in
a safe place. When the temperature in the
braking system has come down, the
in-
dication lamp will go off and the Active
Stability Control function and active trac- tion control function will start operating again.
• If the
indication lamp does not go out
even though the above procedure is fol-
lowed, there could be a problem in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine again
and check whether the
indication lamp
goes out. If the indication lamp goes out, there is no abnormal condition.
If the
indication lamp illuminates even
after your vehicle is driven a short dis-
tance after restarting the engine, we rec-
ommend you to have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
CAUTIONl If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the ASTC may operate, re-
sulting in an accident. When towing the ve- hicle with the front wheels raised, keep the
ignition switch in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position. When towing the vehicle with the
rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position.
