NOTE
l When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the engine speed to increase. In such
situations, temporarily turning off the ASC
with the "ASC OFF" switch will make it
easier 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.

play varies depending on the vehicle model.
CAUTION
l
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
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 safe
place. When the temperature in the braking
system has come down, the
cator will be turned off and the traction con-
trol function will start operating again.

NOTE
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.
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.
