STARTING AND DRIVING D The warning light remains on after the ignition key is turned to "ON". D The warning light comes on while driving. VEHICLE SKID CONTROL SYSTEM The vehicle skid control system helps provide comprehensive control of the systems such as anti−lock brake system, traction control, engine control, etc. This system automatically controls the brakes and engine to help prevent the vehicle from skidding when cornering on a slippery road surface or operating steering wheel abruptly. This system activates when the vehicle speed is about more than 15 km/h (9 mph). You may hear a sound in the engine compartment for a few seconds when the engine is started or just after the vehicle is started. This means that the system is in the self−check mode but does not indicate a malfunction. CAUTION D Do not rely excessively on the vehicle skid control system. Even if the system is operating, it can not completely eliminate the possibility of an accident. Always keep safe driving in mind, as reckless driving increases the risk of an accident. If the slip indicator light blinks, sounding an alarm, special care should be taken while driving. 2002 MY RX300_U (OM48416U) 197
