ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE
—"AUTO LSD" function (on
some models)
The "AUTO LSD" function aids traction
by using the traction control system to
control engine performance and braking
when either of the front wheels begins
to spin.
This function should be used only when
wheel spinning occurs in a ditch or
rough surface.
This function is effective when either of
the front wheels is spinning.
NOTICE
Do not use the "AUTO LSD" function
in conditions other than the above. A
much greater steering effort and more
careful cornering control will be re-
quired.

To turn on the function: Briefly push
the VSC OFF switch.
The "AUTO LSD" and VSC OFF indicator
lights will come on and remain on and
"TRC OFF" will appear on the multi−infor-
mation display while the function is on.
While the function is operating, the slip
indicator light will also flash.
To turn off: Briefly push the VSC OFF
switch again and the "AUTO LSD" and
VSC OFF indicator lights will go off
and "TRC OFF" will disappear.
The brake actuator temperature increases
during the operation of the "AUTO LSD"
function under conditions such as on slip-
pery roads.
If the brake actuator temperature becomes
too high while the "AUTO LSD" function is
operating, a buzzer will sound to indicate
that the "AUTO LSD" function can no lon-
ger operate. At this time, the slip indicator
light comes on and the "AUTO LSD" func-
tion temporarily stops operating in order to
protect the brake actuator. (Although the
"AUTO LSD" function does not operate, it
is not a problem to continue driving.) The
function is automatically restarted after a
short time and the slip indicator light goes
off.
