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 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 display/indi-
cator will be turned off and the traction con-
trol function will start operating again.
