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 vehicle. 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

mode: Approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more
• Constant speed control mode:
Approximately 30 km/h (20 mph) or more
■Accelerating after setting the vehi-
cle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After accelerat-
ing, the set speed resumes. However,
during vehicle-to-vehicle distance con- trol mode, the vehicle speed may
decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■Shift position selection
Select a shift positi on according to the
vehicle speed. If the engine speed is too high or too low, control may be automat-
ically canceled.
■Automatic cancelation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
is automatically canceled in the follow- ing situations.
●Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 km/h (16 mph).
●VSC is activated.

■Operating conditions of hill-start assist control
When the following four conditions are
met, the hill-start assist control will oper- ate:
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift lever is in a position other than P or N
(when starting off forward/backward
on an upward incline).
●Vehicles with a manual transmission:
The shift lever is in a position other than R when starting off forward on an
upward incline, or the shift lever is in
R when starting off backward on an upward incline.
●The vehicle is stopped
●The accelerator pedal is not
depressed
●The parking brake is not engaged
■Automatic system cancelation of
hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any of the following situations:

3184-5. Using the driving support systems
●Vehicles with a Multidrive: The shift
lever is shifted to P or N.
●Vehicles with a manual transmission:
The shift lever is shifted to R when starting off forward on an upward
incline, or the shift lever is shifted to
other than R when starting off back- ward on an upward incline.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
●The parking brake is engaged
●2 seconds at maximum elapsed after
the brake pedal is released
■Sounds and vibrations caused by
the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRC and hill-start assist control sys-
tems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound
does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates
that a malfunction has occurred. • Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly
after the ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down
slightly after the ABS is activated.
■Active Cornering Assist operation
sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and vibra-
tions may be generated from the brake
system, but this is not a malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC and
VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems
off, the systems will be automatically
re-enabled in the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned off
●If only the TRC system is turned off,
the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases. If both the TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, automatic re-enabling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Operating conditions of Active Cor-
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 effectiv eness 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 engine off.
The EPS system should return to nor- mal within 10 minutes.
■Operating conditions of emergency
brake signal
When the following conditions are met,
the emergency brake signal will oper- ates:
●The emergency flashers are off
●Actual vehicle speed is over 55 km/h
(35 mph)
●The system judges from the vehicle
deceleration that it is a sudden brak- ing operation.
