TCS OFF usage
When driving
• It’s a good idea to keep the TCS
turned on for daily driving whenev-
er possible.
• To turn TCS off while driving, press
the TCS OFF button while driving
on a flat road surface.
Never press TCS OFF button while
TCS is operating (TCS indicator light
blinks).
If TCS is turned off while TCS is
operating, the vehicle may slip out of
control.
✽ NOTICE
• When measuring the vehicle speed
with a chassis dynamometer, make
sure the TCS is turned off (TCS
OFF light illuminated). If the TCS
is left on, it may prevent the vehi-
cle speed from increasing, and
cause a false diagnosis of a faulty
speedometer.
• Turning the TCS off does not
affect ABS or brake system opera-
tion.
WARNING
Never press the TCS OFF button
while TCS is operating.
If the TCS is turned off while
TCS is operating, the vehicle
may slip out of control.
To turn TCS off while driving,
press the TCS OFF button while
driving on a flat road surface.
