WARNING

Do not rely completely on the AUTOHOLD function:

The AUTOHOLD function is only designed to assist the brake operation while the

vehicle is stopped. Neglecting to operate the brakes and relying only on the

AUTOHOLD system is dangerous and could result in an unexpected accident if the

vehicle were to suddenly move. Operate the brakes appropriately in accordance

with the road and surrounding conditions.

Do not release your foot from the brake pedal while the vehicle is stopped on a

steep grade:

Because there is a possibility of the vehicle not being held in the stopped position by

the AUTOHOLD function, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an

accident.

Do not use the AUTOHOLD function on slippery roads such as icy or

snow-covered roads, or unpaved roads:

Even if the vehicle is held in the stopped position by the AUTOHOLD function, the

vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Operate the accelerator

pedal, brakes, or steering wheel appropriately as necessary.

Immediately depress the brake pedal in the following cases:

Because the AUTOHOLD function is canceled forcibly, the vehicle may move

unexpectedly and result in an accident.



“Depress Brake Pedal. Brake Hold Disabled” is displayed in the multi-information

display and the warning sound is activated at the same time.

Always apply the parking brake when parking the vehicle:

Not applying the parking brake when parking the vehicle is dangerous as the vehicle

may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. When parking the vehicle, shift

the selector lever to the P position (automatic transmission vehicle) and apply the

parking brake.
