You may feel a pulsation in the brake pedal and

hear a noise or vibration from under the hood. This

is normal and indicates that the VDC system is

working properly.

WARNING:

Always observe the posted speed limits and

do not set the speed over them.

Adjust your speed and driving to the road

conditions.

Do not use the cruise control when driving

under the following conditions. Doing so

could cause a loss of vehicle control and

result in an accident.

If a malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC warning

light illuminates in the instrument panel. The VDC

system automatically turns off.

The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle Dynamic

Control (VDC) system ON for most driving conditions.

The VDC warning light

flashes if this occurs. All

— When driving on winding or hilly roads

other VDC functions are off and the VDC warning light

will not flash. The VDC system is automatically

reset to on when the ignition switch is placed in the

“OFF” position then back to the “ON” position.

When the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC

system reduces the engine output to reduce wheel

spin. The engine speed will be reduced even if the

accelerator is depressed to the floor. If maximum

engine power is needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn

the VDC system off.

— When driving on slippery (rain, snow, ice,

etc.) roads

CAUTION:

See “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) warning light”

(P.2-15) and “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) off

indicator light” (P.2-17).

On Manual Transmission (MT) models, do not

shift into “N” (Neutral) without depressing the

clutch pedal when the cruise control is set.

Should this occur, depress the clutch pedal and

turn the MAIN switch off immediately. Failure to

do so may cause engine damage.

To turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system,

push the VDC OFF switch. The VDC off indicator light

will illuminate.

The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that

tests the system each time you start the engine and

move the vehicle forward or in reverse at a slow speed.

When the self-test occurs, you may hear a “clunk”

noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake pedal. This is

normal and is not an indication of a malfunction.

Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the engine

to turn ON the system.
