Manual DescriptionDriving hints: When extricating the vehicle from mud, sand or fresh snow, you may find that operation of the ASTC prevents the engine speed from increasing in response to depression of the accelerator pedal. If this happens and the vehicle remains stuck as a result, deactivate the ASC function by pressing the “ASC OFF” switch. The vehicle will then be easier to extricate.
(Brake control of the ATC function is still working to prevent wheel spins when the ASC function is deactivated by pressing the “ASC OFF” switch. ) The Active Stability Control function is designed to improve the vehicle’s stability by restraining its tendency to slip sideways (for example, when rounding a curve in slippery conditions, or when the driver takes rapid steering action to avoid an obstacle). It works by controlling the engine output and brake on each wheel.
