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.

2344-5. Using the driving support systems
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
⬛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.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.Preparation for winter
⚫Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures.
⦁ Engine oil
⦁ Coolant
⦁ Washer fluid
⚫Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the battery.
Before driving
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
⚫Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a windshield wiper that is
frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
⚫To ensure proper operation of the air conditioning system fan, remove
any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in front of the
windshield.
⚫Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accumu-
lated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, around the tires or on the
brakes.
⚫Look under the vehicle and check that there are no ice blocks around
the ground. Remove any attached ice blocks with great care to avoid
damaging vehicle components. Also check that the pedals and steering
wheel move smoothly.
⚫Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before getting
in the vehicle.

RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
NOTICE
✽: If equipped
⬛When using a high pressure car wash
⚫Do not splash water directly to the cameras✽ or their surrounding area using
a high-pressure washer during a car wash. The high water pressure adds
stress and may prevent the equipment from working properly.
⚫Do not bring the nozzle tip close to the coupling parts, boots (rubber or resin
covers) and connectors of the following parts.
The parts may be damaged if they come into contact with high pressure
water.
⦁ Drive system parts
⦁ Steering parts
⦁ Suspension parts
⦁ Brake parts
⚫Resin parts, such as moldings and bumpers, may be deformed and dam-
aged, so keep the cleaning nozzle at le ast 30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the
vehicle body. Also, do not continuous ly spray water in the same place.
⚫Do not spray the lower part of the windshield continuously. If water enters
the air conditioning system intake loca ted there, the air conditioning system
may not operate correctly.
