CAUTIONlDo not install any aftermarket limited-slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.NOTEl An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated 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 malfunc-
tion.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the engine is turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin- ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.Traction control function
E00619000087
On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.
CAUTIONl When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive
the vehicle at moderate speeds.Stability control function
E00619100017

tor
This display/incicator will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the “ASC OFF” switch.NOTEl The combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.CAUTIONl When display/indicator blinks, ASC is
operating, which means that the road is slip- pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin-
ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower with less accelerator input.
l If the temperature in the braking system con-
tinues to increase due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the
dis-
play/indicator will blink. To prevent the
brake system from overheating, the brake
control of the traction control function will
be temporarily suspended.
The engine control of the traction control
function and normal brake operation will not be affected. Park your vehicle in a safeplace. When the temperature in the braking
system has come down, the
display/indi-
cator will be turned off and the traction con- trol function will start operating again.
NOTEl The display/indicator may turn on when
you start the engine. This means that the bat- tery voltage momentarily dropped when the
engine was started. It does not indicate a malfunction, provided that the display goes out immediately.
l When a compact spare tyre has been put on
your vehicle, the gripping ability of the tyre
will be lower, making it more likely that the
display/indicator will blink.
