l
When
the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is
soft, the pedal moves in small motions in con-
junction with the sound of the ABS opera-
tion, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake as-
sist system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
l
You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor-
mally.
Emergency stop signal system
E00626000018
This
is a device that reduces the possibility of rear

of the hazard warning lamps to alert vehicles ap-
proaching from behind during sudden braking.
When the emergency stop signal system operates,
the hazard warning indication lamp in the instru-
ment cluster blinks rapidly at the same time.
CAUTION

If
the ABS warning or ASC warning is dis-
played, the emergency stop signal system
may not operate.
