4-5. Using the driving support systems
■ Automatic system cancelation of
hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any
of the following situations:
● The shift lever is shifted to P or N
● The accelerator pedal is depressed
● The parking brake is engaged
● 2 seconds at maximum elapsed after the
brake pedal is released
● Engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY
mode or turned off
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the
ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRAC and
hill-start assist control systems
● 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 these indicates that a mal-
function has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle
body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also 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.
■ Active Cornering Assist operation
sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is oper-
ated, operation sounds and vibrations may
be generated from the brake system, but
this is not a malfunction.
■ Automatic reactivation of TRAC and
VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC systems
off, the systems will be automatically
re-enabled in the following situations:
● When the engine switch is turned off
● If only the TRAC system is turned off, the
TRAC will turn on when vehicle speed
increases
If both the TRAC and VSC systems are
turned off, automatic re-enabling will not
occur when vehicle speed increases.
■ EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Reduced effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from over-
heating when there is frequent steering
input over an extended period of time. The
steering wheel may feel 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 within 10 minutes.
■ Operating conditions of Active Corner-
ing Assist
The system operates when the following
occurs.
● TRAC/VSC can operate
● The driver is attempting to accelerate
while turning
● The system detects that the vehicle is
drifting to the outer side
● The brake pedal is released
■ Secondary Collision Brake operating
conditions
The system operates when the SRS airbag
sensor detects a collision while the vehicle
is in motion.
However, the system does not operate in
any of the following situations.
● The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h)
● Components are damaged
■ Secondary Collision Brake automatic
cancellation
The system is automatically canceled in any
of the following situations.
● The vehicle speed drops below approxi-
mately 6 mph (10 km/h)
● A certain amount of time elapses during
operation
