See "Vehicle identification" in the "9. Technical and consumer information" section for tire placard location. When accelerating or driving on a slippery surfaces, the tires may spin or slide. With the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system, sensors detect these movements and control the braking and engine output to help improve vehicle stability. ¼ When the VDC system is operating, the "SLIP" indicator in the instrument panel blinks. ¼ When only the Traction Control System (TCS) portion of the VDC system is operating, the "SLIP" indicator in the instrument panel blinks. ¼ If the "SLIP" indicator blinks, the road conditions are slippery. Be sure to adjust your speed and driving to these conditions. Be sure to drive carefully. See "Slip indicator light", and "Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) OFF indicator light" in the "2. Instruments and controls" section. ¼ Indicator light If a malfunction occurs in the system, the "SLIP" and "VDC OFF" indicator lights illuminate in the instrument panel. As long as these indicators are illuminated, the VDC system function is canceled. The VDC system uses an Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) system to improve vehicle traction. Starting and driving WARNING The anti-lock brake system is a sophisticated device, but it cannot prevent accidents resulting from careless or dangerous driving techniques. It can help maintain vehicle control during braking on slippery surfaces, but remember that the stopping distance on slippery surfaces will be longer than on normal surfaces even with the anti-lock brake system. Stopping distances may also be longer on rough, gravel or snow covered roads, or if you are using tire chains. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the responsibility for safety of self and others rests in the hands of the driver. Tire type and condition of tires may also affect braking effectiveness. ¼ When replacing tires, install the 5-31
