WARNING
■The ABS does not operate effectively when
● The  limits  of  tire  gripping  performance  have  been  exceeded  (suc h  as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
● The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or s lick roads.
■ Stopping  distance when  the ABS   is  operating  may  exceed  that  of  nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain  a  safe  distance  from  the  vehicle  in  front  of  you,  espe cially  in  the
following situations:
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
● When driving with tire chains
● When driving over bumps in the road
● When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
■ TRAC/VSC may not operate effectively when
Directional  control  and  power  may  not  be  achievable  while  driving  on  slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC system is operating. 
Drive  the  vehicle  carefully  in  conditions  where  stability  and  p ower  may  be
lost.
■ Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
● Do  not  overly  rely  on  hill-start  assist  control.  Hill-start  ass ist  control  may
not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered wit h ice.
● Unlike the parking brake, hill-st art assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle  stationary  for  an  extended  period  of  time.  Do  not  attempt  to  use
hill-start  assist  control  to  hold  the  vehicle  on  an  incline,  as   doing  so  may
lead to an accident.
■ When the TRAC/VSC/Trailer Sway Control are activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator  light flashes.
