Driving support system
■ 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 below approxi-
mately 0 mph (0 km/h)
● A certain amount of time elapses during
operation
● The accelerator pedal is depressed a
large amount
WARNING
■ The ABS does not operate 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 ABS is
operating may exceed that of normal
conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the
vehicle’s stopping distance. Always main-
tain 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 potholes
or uneven surfaces
■ TRAC/VSC may not operate effec-
tively when
Directional control and power may not
be achievable while driving on slippery
road surfaces, even if the TRAC/VSC
system is operating. Drive the vehicle
carefully in conditions where stability and
power may be lost.
■ Active Cornering Assist does not
operate effectively when
● Do not overly rely on Active Corner-
ing Assist. Active Cornering Assist
may not operate effectively when
accelerating down slopes or driving on
slippery road surfaces.
● When Active Cornering Assist fre-
quently operates, Active Cornering
Assist may temporarily stop operating
to ensure proper operation of the
brakes, TRAC and VSC.
■ 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 TRAC/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.
