display/indica-
l When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
display/indi- snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the engine speed to increase. In such sit-
uations, temporarily turning off the ASC
with the "ASC OFF" switch will make it eas-
ier to move out your vehicle.
l Using the "ASC OFF" switch turns off both
the stability control function and the traction
control function.
l If you continue to press the "ASC OFF"
switch after the ASC is turned off, the "mis-
taken operation protection function" will ac-
tivate and the ASC will turn back on.
ASC operation display or ASC OFF
display
- ASC operation display/ASC indicator
The display/indicator will blink when the
ASC is operating.
- ASC OFF display/ASC OFF indicator
This display/indicator will turn on when
the ASC is turned off with the "ASC
OFF" switch.
NOTE
l The combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model.
CAUTION
l
When display/indicator blinks, ASC is
operating, which means that the road is
slippery or that your vehicle's wheels are
beginning to slip. If this happens, drive
slower with less accelerator input.
l
If the temperature in the braking system
continues to increase due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
the display/indicator will blink. To pre-
vent 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
safe place. When the temperature in the
E00619300527
braking system has come down, the
play/indicator will be turned off and the
traction control function will start operat-
ing again.
NOTE
l
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 mal-
function, 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.
