Emergency Stop SignalSystem
▼Emergency Stop Signal System
If you apply the brakes suddenly while
driving at a speed of about 55 km/h
(34 mph) or faster, the emergency stop
signal system automatically and rapidly
fl
ashes all the turn signal lights to
caution drivers behind your vehicle of
the sudden braking situation.
NOTE
Flashing
When you bring your vehicle to a
complete stop while all the turn
signal lights are flashing rapidly, the
rapid flashing of all the turn signal
lights changes back to the normal
fl ashing pattern. The turn signal lights
turn o ff when you release your foot
from the brake pedal.
Operation
When the ABS operates, the
emergency stop signal system is
more likely to operate. Therefore, if
the brake pedal is depressed on a
slippery road, all of the turn signal
lights may flash.
The emergency stop signal system
does not operate when the hazard
warning light switch is pressed.
Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
▼ Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
The HLA functions to assist in
accelerating the vehicle from a stop on
slopes. When releasing the brake pedal
and depressing the accelerator pedal
to accelerate the vehicle from a stop
while on a slope, the function prevents
the vehicle from rolling. The HLA also
operates when reversing on a slope.
The braking force is maintained
automatically after releasing the brake
pedal on a steep slope.
The HLA operates when the vehicle is
tilted rearward with the selector lever
in a forward gear, and operates when
the vehicle is tilted forward with the
selector lever in the R position.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on
HLA:
HLA is an auxiliary device for
accelerating from a stop on a slope.
The system only operates for about 2
seconds and therefore, relying only on
the system, when accelerating from a
stop is dangerous because the vehicle
may move (roll) unexpectedly and
cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on
the vehicle's load.
Always con firm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.
NOTE
HLA does not operate on a gentle
slope. In addition, the gradient of
the slope on which the system will
operate changes depending on the
vehicle's load.
