■Sounds and vibrations caused
by the ABS, brake assist, TRAC
and VSC systems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the
brake pedal is depressed repeat-
edly, when the engine is started or
just after the vehicle begins to
move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions
may occur when t he above sys-
tems 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 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.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sou nd (whirring
sound) may be heard. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC
and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC
systems off, the systems will be automatically reactivated in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the engine switch is turned
off.
●If only the TRAC sy
stem is turned
off, the TRAC will turn on when
vehicle speed is more than
approximately 31 mph (50 km/h).
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned o ff, automatic
reactivation will not occur when
vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is
frequent steering input over an
extended period o f time. The steer-
ing wheel may f eel 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 normal after a little while.
■Automatic deactivation of
“TRACK” mode
When the engine switch is turned off
after driving in “ TRACK” mode, the
mode is automatically deactivated.
