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.
Brake Hold
Multidrive
The brake hold system keeps the
brake applied when the shift lever is
in D, M or N with the system on and
the brake pedal has been depressed
to stop the vehi cle. The system
releases the brake when the acceler-
ator pedal is depressed with the shift
lever in D or M to allow smooth start
off.
Manual transmission
The brake hold system keeps the
brake applied when the shift lever is
in a forward driving position or N with
the system on and the brake pedal
has been depressed to stop the vehi-
cle. The system releases the brake
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed with the shift lever in a for-
ward driving position to allow smooth
start off.
