On slippery surfaces, the traction control
function prevents the drive wheels from spin-
ning excessive, thus helping the vehicle to
start moving from a stopped condition. It also
provides sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while press-
ing the acceleration pedal.

The skid control function is designed to help
the driver maintain control of the vehicle on
slippery roads or during rapid steering
maneuvers. It works by controlling the engine
output and the brake on each wheel.

The ASC is automatically activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON. You can
deactivate the system by pressing down the
ASC OFF switch for 3 seconds or longer.
When the ASC is deactivated, the indica-
tor will turn on. To reactivate the ASC,
momentarily press the ASC OFF switch; the
indicator is turned off.
CAUTION
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 limits and cannot help
you to maintain traction and control of the
vehicle in all circumstances. Reckless driv-
ing can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means
taking into account the traffic, road and envi-
ronmental conditions.
Be sure to use the same specified type and
size of tire on all four wheels. Otherwise, the
ASC may not work properly.
Do not install any aftermarket limited slip
differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC
may stop functioning properly.
NOTE
An operation noise may be emitted from the
engine compartment in the following situa-
tions. The sound is associated 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 malfunc-
tion.
• When the ignition switch is set to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while after
the engine is turned on.
When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the engine compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating
normally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
When the anti-lock braking system warning
light is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
