Automatic system cancelation of 

hill-start assist control

The hill-start assist control will turn off in any 

of the following situations:

●

The shift lever is shifted to P or N

●

The accelerator pedal is depressed

●

The parking brake is engaged

●

2 seconds at maximum elapsed after the 

brake pedal is released

●

Engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY 

mode or turned off

■

Sounds and vibrations caused by the 

ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRAC and 

hill-start assist control systems

●

A sound may be heard from the engine 

compartment when the brake pedal is 

depressed repeatedly, when the engine is 

started or just after the vehicle begins to 

move. This sound does not indicate that a 

malfunction has occurred in any of these 

systems.

●

Any of the following conditions may 

occur when the above systems are oper-

ating. None of these indicates that a mal-

function has occurred.

• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle 

body and steering.

• A motor sound may be heard also after 

the vehicle comes to a stop.

• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after 

the ABS is activated.

• The brake pedal may move down slightly 

after the ABS is activated.

■

Active Cornering Assist operation 

sounds and vibrations

When the Active Cornering Assist is oper-

ated, operation sounds and vibrations may 

be generated from the brake system, but 

this is not a malfunction.

■

Automatic reactivation of TRAC and 

VSC systems

After turning the TRAC and VSC systems 

off, the systems will be automatically 

re-enabled in the following situations:

●

When the engine switch is turned off

●

If only the TRAC system is turned off, the 

TRAC will turn on when vehicle speed 

increases

If both the TRAC and VSC systems are 

turned off, automatic re-enabling will not 

occur when vehicle speed increases.

■

EPS operation sound

When the steering wheel is operated, a 

motor sound (whirring sound) may be 

heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.

■

Reduced effectiveness of the EPS sys-

tem

The effectiveness of the EPS system is 

reduced to prevent the system from over-

heating when there is frequent steering 

input over an extended period of time. The 

steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. 

Should this occur, refrain from excessive 

steering input or stop the vehicle and turn 

the engine off. The EPS system should 

return to normal within 10 minutes.

■

Operating conditions of Active Corner-

ing Assist

The system operates when the following 

occurs.

●

TRAC/VSC can operate

●

The driver is attempting to accelerate 

while turning

●

The system detects that the vehicle is 

drifting to the outer side

●

The brake pedal is released

■

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 in 

any of the following situations.

●

The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 

km/h)

●

Components are damaged

■

Secondary Collision Brake automatic 

cancellation

The system is automatically canceled in any 

of the following situations.

●

The vehicle speed drops below approxi-

mately 6 mph (10 km/h)

●

A certain amount of time elapses during 

operation
