CAUTION
l
Do not over-rely on the ASC. Even the ASC
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle.
This system, like any other system, has lim-
its and cannot help you to maintain traction
and control of the vehicle in all circumstan-
ces. Reckless driving may lead to accidents.
It is the driver's responsibility to drive care-
fully. This means taking into account the
traffic, road and environmental conditions.
l Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tyre on all 4 wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.

differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC

NOTE
l An operation noise may be emitted from the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System compartment in
the following situations. The sound is asso-
ciated with checking the operations of the
ASC. At this time, you may feel a shock
from the brake pedal if you depress it. These
do not indicate a malfunction.
• When the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys-
tem compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
