■When the system malfunctions
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
check the warning messages.

be released due to a malfunction
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake set will lead to brake compo-
nents overheating, which may affect braking performance and increase
brake wear.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if this occurs.

accelerator pedal is depressed
with the shift lever in D or B to
allow smooth start off.

nering Assist
The system operates when the following occurs.
●TRC/VSC can operate
●The driver is attempting to accelerate while turning
●The system detects that the vehicle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period
of time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid sys- tem off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.

ates:
●The emergency flashers are off
●Actual vehicle speed is over 55 km/h (35 mph)

ing operation.
■Automatic system cancelation of emergency brake signal
The emergency brake signal will be can-
celed in any of the following situations:
●The emergency flashers are turned
on.
●The system judges from the vehicle
deceleration that is not a sudden brak- ing operation.
■Secondary Collision Brake operat-ing cancelation
The system operates when the SRS air- bag sensor detects a collision while the
vehicle is in motion.
However, the system does not operate when components are damaged.
■Secondary Collision Brake auto-matic cancelation
The system is automatically canceled in any of the following situations.
●The vehicle speed drops approxi-mately 0 km/h (0 mph)
●A certain amount of time elapses during operation
●The accelerator pedal is depressed a large amount
