■Assistive driving power suppression
When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an
obstacle such as a wall detected near th e front or back of the vehicle, if the
accelerator pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system will inform you with
a visual and audible alert. At the same ti me, the system will prevent sudden forward
or backwards movement by limiting the outpu t of the engine, then assistive braking
will activate when you get closer to the obstacle.
Assistive driving power suppr ession will not activate in the following situations.
When moving forward:
When on a steep slope or the shift position is in
(P, (R, or (N.
