CAUTION
l
Be sure to turn ON the ASC for normal
driving.
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 sit-
uations, temporarily turning off the ASC
with the "ASC OFF" switch will make it eas-
ier to move out your vehicle.
l By pressing the "ASC OFF" switch, both the
stability control function and the traction con-
trol function are turned OFF.
l
By pressing down the "ASC OFF" switch for
3 seconds or longer, you can deactivate the
ASC and the braking control of the AYC.
At this time, the display will appear
for a few seconds.
Then, the previous screen will return and the
"!" mark will come on.
Press the "ASC OFF" switch again to turn
ON the ASC.
l If the "ASC OFF" switch is continuously
pressed after the ASC has been turned OFF
or the ASC and the braking control of AYC
have been turned off, an erroneous operation
prevention function operates and the ASC is
automatically turned ON.

ASC operation display/ASC indica-
tor
-
The display/indicator will blink
when the ASC is operating.
ASC OFF display
-
The display is displayed when
the ASC has been deactivated with
the "ASC OFF" switch.
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.
NOTE
l
The display may come on in the instru-
ment cluster when you start the engine. This
means that the battery voltage momentarily
dropped when the engine was started. It does
not indicate a malfunction, provided that the
display goes out immediately.

Starting and driving
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.

Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine. Restart the engine and check
whether the display/ indicator goes out. If
they go out, there is no abnormal condi-
tion. If they do not go out or appear fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the ve-
hicle immediately, but we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
