STARTING AND DRIVING

Initial adjustment of vehicle skid control system

After the battery terminals are disconnected, an initial adjustment
should be made. At this time, the reminder light comes on and the
warning message appears in the multi information display.
Make an initial adjustment in the following ways:
1. Apply the parking brake and put the transmission in "P".
2. Connect the battery terminals.
3. Turn the ignition switch on. At this time, the "VSC OFF"
indicator light comes on and then about 6 seconds later, the reminder
light comes on and the "CHECK VSC" warning message appears in
the multi information display.
4. The warning message and the "VSC OFF" indicator light go out
about 15 seconds after the ignition switch is turned on. If the vehicle
is shaken after the ignition switch is turned to "ON", it may take
longer to go out the warning message.
If the warning message does not go out about 1 minute after you turn
the ignition switch on, turn it off and then on again.
If the vehicle is on the moving object like a ship or turntable, an
accurate adjustment cannot be made. Move the vehicle on the
ground (or the part not causing vibrations to the vehicle) and make
an adjustment from step 1.
