control systems
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, when the engine is st arted or just after the vehicle begins to
move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these sys-
tems.
●Any of the following conditions may occu r when the above systems are operating.

• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
