4-5. Using the driving support systems
■ If the brake system overheats
The brake system may overheat. In this
case, a buzzer will sound, “Traction Control
Turned Off” is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display, and Active TRAC and hill-
start assist control will be temporarily inop-
erable. In this event, stop the vehicle imme-
diately in a safe place, and allow the brake
system to cool down sufficiently. (There is
no problem with continuing normal driving.)
After a short time, the display message on
the multi-information display turns off, and
you will be able to use Active TRAC and
hill-start assist control.
■ 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 when the components are dam-
aged.
■ Secondary Collision Brake automatic
cancellation
The system is automatically canceled in any
of the following situations.
● The vehicle speed drops to approxi-
mately 0 mph (0 km/h).
● A certain amount of time elapses during
operation
● The accelerator pedal is depressed a
large amount
■ The Multi Terrain ABS does not oper-
ate effectively when
● 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 Multi
Terrain ABS is operating may exceed
that of normal conditions
The Multi Terrain ABS is not designed to
shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance.
Always maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you, especially in the
following situations:
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-
covered roads
● When driving with tire chains
● When driving over bumps in the road
● When driving over roads with pot-
holes or uneven surfaces
■ Active TRAC/VSC may not operate
effectively when
Directional control and power may not
be achievable while driving on slippery
road surfaces, even if the Active
TRAC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions
where stability and power may be lost.
■ Hill-start assist control does not oper-
ate effectively when
● Do not overly rely on hill-start assist
control. Hill-start assist control may
not operate effectively on steep
inclines and roads covered with ice.
● 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 vehi-
cle on an incline, as doing so may lead
to an accident.
■ When the Active
TRAC/ABS/VSC/Trailer Sway Con-
trol is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always
drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular
care when the indicator light flashes.
