WARNING
l Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do-
ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency.
Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor
mat is securely held in place.
Brake pad l Avoid hard braking situations.
New

brakes need to be broken-in by moder-
ate use for the first 200 km (124 miles).
l The disc brakes are provided with a warning
device which emits a shrieking metallic
sound while braking if the brake pads have
reached their wear limit. If you hear this
sound, have the brake pads replaced immedi-
ately. WARNING
l Driving
with worn brake pads will make
it harder to stop, and can cause an acci-
dent. Hill start assist*
E00628000155
The

hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a
steep uphill slope by preventing the vehicle from
moving backwards. It keeps the braking force for
about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. CAUTION
l
Do
not overly rely on the hill start assist
to prevent backwards movement of the ve-
hicle. Under certain circumstances, even
when hill start assist is activated, the vehi-
cle may move backwards if the brake ped-
al is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehi-
cle is heavily loaded, or if the road is very
steep or slippery.
l The hill start assist is not designed to
keep the vehicle stopped in place on up-
hill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
l When facing uphill, do not rely on using
the hill start assist to maintain a stopped
position as an alternative to depressing
the brake pedal.
Doing so could result in an accident.
l Do not perform the following operation
while the hill start assist is operating.
[Except for vehicles equipped with key-
less operation system]
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
or “ACC” position.
[Vehicles equipped with keyless operation
system]
Put the operation mode in OFF or ACC.
The hill start assist could stop operating,
which could result in an accident. To operate

lector lever into the “D” position.
NOTE l When reversing on an uphill slope, place the
gearshift lever or the selector lever into the
“R” position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill start as- sist will maintain the braking force applied
while stopping for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and the hill start assist gradually will decrease the brak-
ing force as the vehicle starts moving.

E00615500345
This
system operates when you are backing the ve-
hicle. It uses corner and back sensors to detect an
obstacle and the information screen in the multi-in-
formation display and the buzzer to inform you of
the approximate distance to the obstacle. CAUTION
l
The reversing sensor system assists you in
determining the approximate distance be-
tween

the vehicle and an obstacle located
behind the vehicle. It has limitations in
terms of detectable areas and objects,
and may not properly detect some ob-
jects. Therefore, do not place excessive
confidence in the reversing sensor system
and operate the vehicle as carefully as
you would do with a vehicle not equipped
with this system.
l Make sure to check the surroundings
with your own eyes to ensure safety. Do
not operate the vehicle by relying on the
reversing sensor system alone.
Obstacle detection areas E00615600346
The detection areas of the corner and back sensors
are

limited to those shown in the illustration. More-
over, the sensors are unable to detect low or thin ob-
jects or objects near the rear bumper. Thus, make
sure to check the surroundings as you operate the
vehicle in a safe manner. Starting and driving
4-48

OGWE12E1

l
The reference lines for distance and vehicle
width are intended to indicate the distance to
a flat object such as a level, flat road surface.
This may make the distance to a projecting
object shown on the screen differ from the ac-
tual distance to the projecting object. Do not
use them as a guide for distances to solid ob-
jects.
Example: On the screen the point B appears
the nearest, then the point C and A in order
of distance. The points A and B actually are
the same distances from the vehicle, and the
point C is farther off than the points A and B.
