ing message is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display, read the message and follow
the instructions.

■ASC is enabled when
The vehicle is being driven in normal mode
or sport mode. ( P.236)
WARNING
■When the vehicle is on a steep incline
When using the brake hold system on a
steep incline, exercise caution. The brake
hold function may not hold the vehicle in
such a situation.
■When stopped on a slippery road
The system cannot stop the vehicle when
the gripping ability of the tires has been
exceeded. Do not use the system when
stopped on a slippery road.
NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle
The brake hold system is not designed
for use when parking the vehicle for a
long period of time. Turning the engine
switch off while the system is holding the
brake may release the brake, which
would cause the vehicle to move. When
operating the engine switch, depress the
brake pedal, shift the shift lever to P and
set the parking brake.
ASC (Active Sound Con-
trol)*
The ASC system is an electronic
sound system that generates driv-
ing sound, conveying the kinetic sit-
uations of the vehi cle’s acceleration
and deceleration to the driver
through the speakers behind the
instrument panel. The vehicle’s
response to the driver’s accelera-
tion behavior and shift operations
are also conveyed in sound. When
sport mode is selected, the sound
conveyed to the driver will be
louder.

●To make your vehicle more visible to
other drivers during daytime driving, the
daytime running lights turn on automati-
cally when all of the following conditions
are met. (The daytime running lights are
not designed for use at night.)

The daytime running lights remain on after
they illuminate, even if the parking brake is
set again.
●For the U.S.A.: Daytime running lights
can be turned off by operating the switch.
●Compared to turning on the headlights,
the daytime running light system offers
greater durability and consumes less
electricity, so it can help improve fuel
economy.
