The indicator light on the switch will illumi-
nate when the systems are turned on.
If the indicator light flashes when the RSS,

The RSS, MOD, RAB, or RCTA systems will be
turned on automatically under the follow-
ing conditions:
• When the ignition switch is switched fromthe OFF position to the ON position.
• When the shif t lever is shif ted into the R (Reverse) position.
