Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied suddenly, the emergency flashers
automatically flash to alert the vehicle behind.
The slip indicator will flash while
the TRC/VSC/ABS systems are
operating.
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or snow, the TRC system may
reduce power from the hybrid system to the wheels. Pressing the VSC
OFF switch to turn the system off may make it easier for you to rock
the vehicle in order to free it.
To turn the TRC system off,
quickly press and release the
VSC OFF switch.
The “TRC OFF” indicator will come
on.
Press the switch again to turn the
system back on.

tion)
If the RDS station (with EON data) you are listening to is not broadcasting a
traffic information program and the audio system is in the TA (traffic
announcement) mode, the radio will be switched automatically to a station
broadcasting a traffic information program in the EON AF list when traffic
information begins.

ally changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength and sur-
rounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.

removed from the base by turning it.
