The Vehicle Dynamics Control System
may therefore operate. Such operation
does not indicate a system malfunc-
tion.
on gravel-covered or rutted
roads
on unfinished roads
when the vehicle is fitted with
snow tires or winter tires
. Activation of the Vehicle Dynamics
Control system will cause operation of
the steering wheel to feel slightly
different compared to that for normal
conditions.
. It is always important to reduce
speed when approaching a corner,
even if the vehicle is equipped with
Vehicle Dynamics Control.
. Always turn off the engine before
replacing a tire as failure to do so may
render the Vehicle Dynamics Control
system unable to operate correctly.

Vehicle Dynamics Control mode switch
When the switch is pressed briefly or for
more than approximately 3 seconds dur-
ing engine operation, the mode of the
Vehicle Dynamics Control System will be
changed.
! Vehicle Dynamics Control mode
When the ignition switch is on, this mode
is selected.
This mode enables all controls for ABS,
the Traction Control System, and the
Vehicle Dynamics Control system. Select
this mode for most driving situations.
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light on the combination meter turns off.
! Traction mode
This mode restricts the functions of the
Traction Control S ystem and Vehicle
Dynamics Control system and thus delays
utilizing their functions as a reaction to
vehicle behavior in comparison with the
Vehicle Dynamics Control mode. This
mode should be used in driving situations
where the vehicle dynamic performance
will improve without decreasing engine
torque control.
When the switch is pressed briefly during
engine operation, the indicator light on the
combination meter illuminates in green.
When t he switch is pressed again to
reactivate the Vehicle Dynamics Control
system, the indicator light turns off.
