2924-5. Using the driving support systems
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automati-
cally re-enabled in the following situations:
● When the power switch is turned off
● If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on wh en vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-e nabling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases
■ Secondary Collision Brake operating conditions
The system operates when the SRS airbag sensor detects a collis ion while
the vehicle is in motion.
However, the system does not operate in any of the following si tuations.
● The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
● Components are damaged
■ Secondary Collision Brake automatic cancellation
The Secondary Collision Brake is automatically canceled in the following situ-
ations:
●The vehicle speed drops below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h)
● A certain amount of time elapses during operation
● The accelerator pedal is depressed a large amount
■ Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the s ystem from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an exten ded period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should thi s occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system
off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.

Use a safety chain system for all towing, and abide by all stat e/
provincial and local laws.
If towing your vehicle with a wheel-lift type truck from the fr ont,
the vehicle's rear wheels and axles must be in good conditions.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
■ While towing
● When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc. w hich place
excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains. The towing eye-
