Vehicle Roll Prevention Function (Automatic transaxle)
Vehicles with the i-stop function are equipped with a vehicle roll prevention function. This
function prevents the vehicle from rolling, such as when releasing the brake pedal while on
a slope under the following conditions:

While engine idling is stopped (prevents the vehicle from rolling back)

When the engine restarts after releasing the brake pedal (prevents the vehicle's sudden
movement due to vehicle creep), sudden movement of the vehicle is prevented by
controlling the brakes.
Release foot from brake pedal Vehicle brake force maintained
Engine restarted Acceleration
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.
The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates for a
maximum of 4 seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the vehicle from an
engine idling stop condition. Over reliance on the system may result in an unexpected
accident if the vehicle were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting to drive the vehicle,
always conrm the safety of the surroundings and operate the selector lever, brake pedal,
and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note that the vehicle may move suddenly depending
on the vehicle's load or if it is towing something.
