● Using the “ASC OFF” switch turns off both the stability
control function and the traction control function.
● When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing
the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to
increase. In such situations, temporarily turning off ASC
with the “ASC OFF” switch will make it easier to move
out your vehicle.
● If you continue to press the “ASC OFF” switch after the
ASC is turned off, the “mistaken operation protection
function” will activate and the ASC will turn back on.
CAUTION
!
● For safety reasons, the “ASC OFF” switch should be
operated when your vehicle is stopped.
● Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal
circumstances.
● If the ASC is deactivated, the driver may lose their
grip on the steering wheel when the tires spin. Grip
the steering wheel firmly while driving.
