WARNING
Never turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position while the
vehicle is being driven or towed
because that will lock the steering
wheel, preventing steering
control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much greater
effort than usual to steer...
The indicator light flashes during activation
of the skid suppression function and during
activation of the traction control function.
NOTE
The light may remain illuminated for
a short period of time after the engine
has been started, especially in cold
weather...
