Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
E00607101394
The
anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps prevent
the wheels from locking during braking. This helps
maintain vehicle drivability and steering wheel han-
dling.
Driving hints
l Always keep a safe distance from the vehicle
in front of you. Even if your vehicle is equip-
ped with ABS, leave a greater braking dis-
tance when:
• Driving on gravel or snow-covered roads.
• Driving with tyre chains installed.
• Driving on uneven road surfaces.
l Operation of ABS is not restricted to situa-
tions where brakes are applied suddenly.
This system may also prevent the wheels
from locking when you drive over manholes,
steel roadwork plates, road markings, or any
uneven road surface.
l When the ABS is activated, you may feel the
brake pedal pulsation and the vibrations of
the vehicle body and steering wheel. It may
also feel as if the pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake ped-
al down firmly. Do not pump the brake,
which will result in reduced braking per-
formance.
l An operation noise may be emitted from the
bonnet room in the following situations. The
sound is associated with checking the opera-
tions of the anti-lock brake system.
At this time, you may feel a shock from the
brake pedal if you depress it. These do not in-
dicate a malfunction.
• When the electric motor switch is turnedto the “ON” position. • When the vehicle is driven for a while af-
ter the electric motor is turned on.
l The ABS can be used after the vehicle has
reached a speed over approximately 10 km/h
(6 mph). It stops working when the vehicle
slows below approximately 5 km/h (3 mph). CAUTION
l
The
ABS cannot prevent accidents. It is
your responsibility to take safety precau-
tions and to drive carefully.
l To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure
wheels and tyres are of the specified size
and the same type.
l Do not install any aftermarket limited-
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle.
The ABS may stop functioning properly.
ABS warning lamp E00607201207 If there is a malfunction in the system, the ABS
warning lamp will come on.Under normal conditions, the ABS warning lamp
only

comes on when the electric motor switch is
turned to the “ON” position and goes off a few sec-
onds later. CAUTION
l
Any
of the following indicates that the
ABS is not functioning and only the stand-
ard brake system is working. (The stand-
ard brake system is functioning normal-
ly.) If this happens, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected as soon as pos-
sible. • When the electric motor switch isturned to the “ON” position, the warn-
ing lamp does not come on or it re-
mains on and does not go off.
• The warning lamp comes on while driv- ing
If the warning lamp illuminates while
driving E00607301338
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates
Avoid
hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop
the vehicle in a safe place, put the selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position and turn off the electric
motor unit.
Restart the electric motor unit and check to see
whether the lamp goes out after a few minutes driv-
ing; if it then remains off during driving, there is
no problem.
However, if the warning lamp does not disappear,
or if it comes on again when the vehicle is driven,
we recommend you to have the vehicle checked. Starting and driving

NOTE
l An
operation noise may be emitted from the
bonnet room in the following situations. The
sound is associated with checking the opera-
tions of the ASC. At this time, you may feel
a shock from the brake pedal if you depress
it. These do not indicate a malfunction. • When the electric motor switch is turnedto the “ON” position.
• When the vehicle is driven for a while af- ter the electric motor is turned on.
l When the ASC is activated, you may feel a
vibration in the vehicle body or hear a whin-
ing sound from the bonnet room.
This indicates that the system is operating nor-
mally. It does not indicate a malfunction.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp is illuminated, the ASC is not active.
Traction control function E00619000087
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function
prevents

the drive wheels from spinning excessive-
ly, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a
stopped condition. It also provides sufficient driv-
ing force and steering performance as the vehicle
turns while pressing the acceleration pedal. CAUTION
l
When
driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy
road, be sure to install snow tyres and
drive the vehicle at moderate speeds. Stability control function
E00619100088
The

stability control function is designed to help
the driver maintain control of the vehicle on slip-
pery roads or during rapid steering manoeuvres. It
works by controlling the electric motor unit output
and the brake on each wheel.
NOTE
l The stability control function operates at
speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or higher.
“ASC OFF” switch E00619200496
The ASC is automatically activated when the elec-
tric

motor switch is turned to the “ON” position.
You can deactivate the system by pressing down
the “ASC OFF” switch for 3 seconds or longer. When the ASC is deactivated, the indication
lamp

will turn on. To reactivate the ASC, momen-
tarily press the “ASC OFF” switch; the indica-
tion lamp is turned off. CAUTION
l
For
safety reasons, the “ASC OFF”
switch should be operated when your ve-
hicle is stopped.
l Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving
in normal circumstances. Starting and driving

tery, and the other end to the designated loca-
tion of the vehicle with the discharged bat-
tery at the point farthest from the battery. WARNING
l Make
sure you observe the following or-
der when connecting the cables: → →
→
l
Make sure you make connection to the
correct

designated location (as shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (-) side of the dis-
charged battery, flammable gases gener-
ated from the battery might catch fire
and explode. WARNING
l When
connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery. CAUTION
l
Take
care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotat-
ing part in the bonnet room or engine com-
partment.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the bat-
tery size to prevent overheating of the ca-
bles.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.
8. Start
the engine in the vehicle which has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few mi-
nutes, then start the electric motor unit in the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
9. Check that the ready indicator illuminates.

[When the ready indicator illuminates]
Stop

the engine of another vehicle, discon-
nect the cables in the reverse order and
charge the auxiliary battery for more than 30
minutes.
After the auxiliary battery is charged, contin-
ue the process from step 16.

[When the ready indicator does not illuminate]
Both the auxiliary battery and the traction bat-
tery have gone flat at the same time.

battery by the following procedures (from
steps 10 to 14).

10. Keep connecting the jumper cable to each ve- hicle, turn the electric motor switch of your
vehicle to the “LOCK” position.
NOTE l The jumper cable needs to be connected to
the auxiliary battery when you start charging
the traction battery because the on board
charger etc. operate with a power source of
auxiliary battery.
11. Charge the traction battery by regular charg- ing. (Refer to “Regular charging” on page
1-04.)
12. When the charging indicator on the instru- ment cluster is illuminated, stop the engine
