prevent the drive wheels from spin- 
ning when starting the vehicle or  
accelerating on slippery roads
■Active Cornering Assist (ACA) 
Helps to prevent the vehicle from  
drifting to the outer side by perform- 
ing inner wheel brake control when  
attempting to accelerate while turn- 
ing
■Hill-start assist control 
Helps to reduce the backward  
movement of the vehicle when  
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering) 
Employs an electric motor to  
reduce the amount of effort needed  
to turn the steering wheel.
■E-Four (Electronic On-Demand  
AWD system) (AWD models) 
Automatically switches from front  
wheel drive to all-wheel drive  
(AWD) according to the driving con- 
ditions, helping to ensure reliable  
handling and stability. Examples of  
conditions where the system will  
switch to AWD are when cornering,  
going uphill, starting off or acceler- 
ating, and when the road surface is  
slippery due to snow, rain, etc.
■Emergency brake signal 
When the brakes are applied sud- 
denly, the emergency flashers auto- 
matically flash to alert the vehicle  
behind.
■The Secondary Collision 
Brake 
When the SRS airbag sensor  
detects a collision and the system  
operates, the brakes and brake  
lights are automatically controlled  
to reduce the vehicle speed and  
help reduce the possibility of further  
damage due to a secondary colli- 
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC/ABS systems  are operating 
The slip indicator light will flash while the  
TRC/VSC/ABS systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system 
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or  
snow, the TRC system may reduce 
power from the hybrid system 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 TRC system off, quickly  
press and release  . 
The “Traction Control Turned OFF” will  
be shown on the multi-information dis-
play.
