3 Active stability control (ASC)
N00559100134
The Active stability control (ASC) takes overall control of the
anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function to help maintain the vehicle’s control and trac-
tion. Please read this section in conjunction with the page on
the anti-lock braking system, traction control function and skid
control function.
Anti-lock braking system → P. 3 - 9 9
Traction control function → P. 3 - 1 0 6
Skid control function → P. 3 - 1 0 6
NOTE
An operation noise may be emitted from the engine com-
partment in the following situations. The sound is associ-
ated 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 malfunction.
• When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the operation mode is put in ON.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while after the engine is
turned on.

When the ASC is activated, you may feel a vibration in
the vehicle body or hear a whining sound from the engine
compartment.
This indicates that the system is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.

When the anti-lock braking system warning light is illu-
minated, the ASC is not active.
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
driving can lead to accidents. It is the driver’s
responsibillty to drive carefully, This means taking
into account the traffic, road and environmental
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 differen-
tial (LSD) on your vehicle. The ASC may stop func-
tioning properly.

Tachometer
N00519200289
The tachometer shows engine revolutions per minute. This
allows the driver to determine the most efficient selector posi-
tion and engine speed combinations.
This gauge also assists in evaluating engine performance.
Rheostat meter illumination button
N00554900182
Each time you press this button, there is a sound and the bright-
ness of the instruments changes.NOTE
You can adjust to 8 different levels respectively for when
the front side-marker and parking lights are illuminated
and when they are not.

If the vehicle is equipped with the automatic light control,
when the light switch is in a position other than the “OFF”
position, the meter illumination switches automatically to
the adjusted brightness, depending on the brightness out-
side the vehicle.

The brightness level of the instruments is stored when the
ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” position or the
operation mode is put in OFF.

If you press and hold the button for longer than about 1
second when the front side-marker and parking lights are
illuminated, the brightness level changes to the maximum
level. Pressing and holding the button for longer than
about 1 second again returns the brightness level to the
previous level.
CAUTION
!
The red zone indicates an engine speed beyond the
range of safe operation.
Select the correct shift position (manual transaxle)
or selector position (CVT) to control the engine
speed so that the tachometer indicator does not
enter the red zone.
