Antilock Brake System(ABS)
▼Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing
and reapplying that wheel's brake.

The driver will feel a slight vibration in
the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake system.
This is normal ABS system operation.
Continue to depress the brake pedal
without pumping the brakes.

The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to ABS Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-26.
WARNING
Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for
safe driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe
and reckless driving , excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), driving on ice and snow,
and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction
and road contact because of water on
the road surface). You can still have an
accident.
NOTE
Braking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these
conditions because the tires will
build up a wedge of surface layer
when the wheels skid.
You might hear the sound of a motor
when starting the EV system or
immediately after starting to drive
the vehicle. However, it does not
indicate a problem.

Some problem with the system has
occurred.
The front side radar sensor
installation position is greatly
deviated.
There is a large accumulation of
snow or ice on the front bumper
near a front side radar sensor.
The temperature near the radar
sensors becomes extremely hot
due to driving for a long time on
slopes during the summer.
The lead-acid battery voltage has
decreased.
The front side radar sensor of the

vehicle will stop when a vehicle ahead
stops. When your vehicle is stopped
and the stop hold control operates, the
MRCC with Stop & Go function
indicator light turns on.
NOTE

vehicle ahead starts moving and the
distance from the vehicle increases, the
stop hold control will be canceled and
your vehicle will resume driving by
performing any of the following
operations.
Press the RES switch.Depress the accelerator pedal.
NOTE
If the vehicle ahead starts moving
within three seconds after your vehicle
is stopped, the headway control will

The vehicle is driven on rough
roads such as in areas where there
is grass and foliage or o ff-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation
on page 4-143.
 Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the speci fied size, and the
same manufacture, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with signi ficantly di fferent wear
patterns on the same vehicle. If such
improper tires are used, the SBS may
not operate normally.
Rearward detection function
The rearward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a target object
when reversing.
The rearward detection function
detects obstructions using the rear
ultrasonic sensors. In addition, if there
is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the rear
while you are driving in reverse, you
are notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the rearward
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a target object
at the rear of your vehicle. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the rear.
Operation conditions
The rearward detection function
operates when all of the following
conditions are met.
The EV system is operating.The SBS is on.The selector lever is in the R position.The vehicle speed is about 2 km/h
(2 mph) to 8 km/h (4 mph).
There is no problem with the DSC.The Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is
not operating.
NOTE
When any of the following
conditions is met, the rearward
detection function may not operate.
Directly after the EV system starts.The height of the obstruction is
low such as low walls or trucks
with low loading platforms.
The height of the obstruction is
high such as trucks with high
loading platforms.
The obstruction is not as large as a
vehicle or wall.
The obstruction is thin such as a
signpost.
The surface of the obstruction is
not pointed vertically relative to
your vehicle.

system started. The air conditioner can
be used while charging when the
power switch is switched ON. In
addition, Cabin preconditioning can
also be used when the power switch is
switched OFF.

the power switch switched ON, the air
conditioner (cooling , heating ,
defrosting functions) stops
automatically.
1. Press the AUTO switch. Selection of
the air flow mode, air intake
selector and amount of air flow will
be automatically controlled.
2. Operate the temperature setting
switch/
(red) or (blue) to
set the desired temperature.
NOTE
The recommended set
temperature is 22 °C (72 °F).
Setting the temperature to
maximum hot or cold will not
provide the desired temperature
at a faster rate.
The power consumption of the
air conditioner changes
depending on the set
temperature and the ambient
temperature. If the set
temperature is too low or high,
the remaining distance to full
discharge shortens.

When towing a vehicle, transport it
with both front wheels raised o ff the
ground or with all front and rear
wheels raised o ff the ground.
If the vehicle is towed with the front
wheels grounded, the EV system may
be damaged.
This vehicle cannot be used to tow
other vehicles.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground
using the tiedown hook at the front of
the vehicle.
If the vehicle has to be towed by rope
to move it such as in an emergency,
tow the vehicle in as short a distance
as possible such as to the transport
vehicle or to get unstuck. Otherwise,
the EV transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
 Shift to the N position.
 Start the EV system.
 Release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
on page 4-52.
In the following cases, do not tow the
vehicle with rope. Otherwise, the EV
transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
 The EV system does not start.
 The shift control system warning
indication/warning light displays/
turns on.
Do not stop the EV system while the
vehicle is being towed. Otherwise, the
parking lock may engage which could
lead to an accident.
Tiedown Hooks*
▼ Tiedown Hooks
CAUTION
Do not use the front and rear tiedown
eyelets for towing the vehicle.
They have been designed only for
securing the vehicle to a transport
vessel during shipping.
Using the eyelets for any other purpose
could result in the vehicle being
damaged.
1. Remove the tiedown eyelet and the
lug wrench from the luggage
compartment (page 7-3).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or
similar tool with a soft cloth to
prevent damage to a painted
bumper, and open the cap located
on the front or rear bumper.
