■System malfunction
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may not recognize
them as an adult depending on their physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or child in convert-
ible seat, the system may not recognize them as a child. Factors which
may affect this can be the physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing child rest raint system on the front passenger
seat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on
the front passenger seat w hen it is unavoidable. (P.54)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illu minated, consult this manual on how
to install the child restraint system properly. ( P.51)

■The Secondary Collision
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and
brake lights are automatically
controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the pos-
sibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.
■When the TRAC/VSC/ABS sys-
tems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash
while the TRAC/VSC/ABS systems
are operating.
■Disabling the TRAC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt
or snow, the TRAC system may
reduce power from the hybrid sys-
tem to the wheels.
Pressing to turn the system off
may make it easier for you to rock
the vehicle in order to free it.
To turn the TRAC system off,
quickly press and release . The “Traction Control Turned OFF”
will be shown on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Press again to turn the system
back on.
