damage the wheel speed sensors (A) or the
cables located at each wheel.

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
responsibility 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.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while after
the engine is turned on.
