Brake auto hold
6-28 Starting and driving

cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm
they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake
discs and prevent normal braking after driv-
ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or
after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal.
 Avoid hard braking situations.
New brakes need to be broken-in by mod-
erate use for the first 200 km.
 The disc brakes are provided with a warn-
ing device which emits a shrieking metal-
lic sound while braking if the brake pads
have reached their limit. If you hear this
sound, have the brake pads replaced
immediately.

When the vehicle is stopped at traffic signals
etc., the vehicle can be held stationary with
the brake auto hold system even if you
release your foot from the brake pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed, the
brakes are released.
When driving downhill
WARNING
 Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;
doing so could prevent the full pedal
stroke that would be necessary in an
emergency. Make sure that the pedal can
be operated freely at all times. Make sure
the floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTION
 Put the select position in the “B” (REGEN-
ERATIVE BRAKE) position according to
the grade of the slope and vehicle speed, and
use the service brake in combination with the
regenerative brake as required.
If the brake pedal is continuously or fre-
quently depressed on downhill roads, the ser-
vice brake could overheat and the brake
performance will be reduced.
 Effectiveness of the regenerative brake
becomes weak with close to full charge of
the drive battery. When the effect of the
regenerative brake feels weak, use the foot
brake and slow down your vehicle speed.
The energy usage indicator stops swaying in
the charge zone closer to full charge.
Refer to “Energy usage indicator” on page
5-8.
The regenerative brake comes to be effective
if the drive battery remaining power is con-
sumed.
NOTE
 The engine speed may increase if regenera-
tive braking is engaged when the drive bat-
tery is nearly fully charged, but this is not a
malfunction.
Brake pad
CAUTION
WARNING
 Driving with worn brake pads will make it
harder to stop, and can cause an accident.
Brake auto hold
WARNING
 Do not overly rely on the brake auto hold
system. On steep slope, depress the brake
pedal firmly because the system may not
hold the vehicle stationary.
 Never leave the vehicle while it is being
stopped by the brake auto hold system.
When leaving the vehicle, apply the Elec-
tric parking brake and put the select posi-
tion in the “P” (PARK) position.
 Do not use brake auto hold system when
driving on slippery roads. The system may
not hold the vehicle stationary and could
re
sult in an accident.
