Driving assist systems
The following devices automatically operate according to the driving
conditions to improve driving safety and performance. However,
these systems are supplementary and you should be careful not to
over-rely on them while driving.
◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if
the brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface.
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force when the system detects a
panic stop situation.
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces.
◆TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and pr event the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads.
◆Hill-start assist control
Prevents the vehicle from moving backwards when starting on an uphill.
◆EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Uses an electric motor to assist steering operation.
◆Emergency brake signal
Emergency flashers automatically fl ash when braking suddenly, alerting
the following vehicle and reducing the possibility of a collision.

⬛Activation of ABS/VSC
ABS/VSC does not work at low speeds. The operation is the same as the nor-
mal brake.
⬛Activation sound and vibration of the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRC, and hill-
start assist control
⚫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 oper-
ating. None of them indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
⦁ Vibrations may be felt through th e vehicle body and steering wheel
⦁ A motor sound may be heard even after the vehicle has come 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 motor operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
⬛Automatic reactivation of VSC and TRC
After turning the TRC and VSC systems off, the systems will return to the ready
state in the following situations:
⚫When the engine switch is turned to “OFF”
⚫If only the TRC system is turned off, when vehicle speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are tu rned off, automatic reactivation will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
⬛Reduced effectiveness 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 ma y feel heavy as a result.
Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and
turn the engine off. It should re turn to normal within 10 minutes.

WARNING
⬛The ABS does not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on the ABS.
The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as exces-
sively worn tires on a snow covered road).
⚫The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
⬛Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of normal
conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten th e vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the fol-
lowing situations:
⚫When driving on dirt, grav el or snow-covered roads
⚫When driving with tire chains
⚫When driving over bumps in the road
⚫When driving over roads with potholes or roads with uneven surfaces
⬛TRC/VSC may not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on the TRC/VSC.
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in condit ions where stability and power may be
lost.
⚫The VSC and TRC may not function proper ly when tire chains are installed.
⬛Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not
operate effectively on steep inclines an d dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads.
⚫Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use hill-
start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to
an accident.
⚫The hill-start assist control may no t become activated depending on the
number of occupants or luggage weight in the vehicle, or if the driver did not
step on the brake pedal strong enough when stopping.
⬛When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
⬛When the ABS warning light or slip indicator is on
The emergency brake signal ( ➞P. 232) may not be activated.
