CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
ASR is a device that helps prevent the drive wheels from spinning and improve vehicle
motion stability when driving on a snowy or otherwise slippery road surface. The
ASR is automatically activated when the engine is started. You may cancel the ASR
operation using the ASR OFF switch.
CAUTION
• When ASR is activated, the ASR indicator light (green) comes on. The road
surface at this time is very slippery. If the indicator light comes on, drive
carefully and reduce the speed sufficiently before negotiating a curve.
• Even with the ASR-equipped model, when driving on a snowy or icy road,
carefully drive the vehicle, installing tyre chains or winter tyres.
• ASR is not a device to drastically improve the vehicle starting performance.
Carefully operate the accelerator pedal when moving on an icy slope.
• When tyre chains are installed, it may be easier for you to start the vehicle to
move on an icy slope if the ASR is canceled. Be aware, however, that ASR
deactivation will result in reduced stability of vehicle operation.
ADVICE
[These are not signs of ASR malfunction]
• The engine speed may suddenly decrease, but this is because the ASR device
is operating.
NOTE
• When using a speed tester or brake tester, press the ASR OFF switch to cancel
the ASR device.
