VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM(for Hydraulic Brake Booster) VSC OFF Indicator Light Remains ON

DESCRIPTION

Operation of the VSC OFF switch changes the vehicle between normal mode, TRC OFF mode and VSC OFF mode. During normal mode, pressing the VSC OFF switch for a short amount of time changes vehicle to TRC OFF mode. When the vehicle is stopped, pressing the VSC OFF switch for 3 seconds or more changes the vehicle to VSC OFF mode.
