tems
A sound may be heard from the
●
engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed repeatedly, when
the hybrid system is started or just
after the vehicle begins to move. This
sound does not indicate that a mal-
function has occurred in any of these

Any of the following conditions may
●
occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates
that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also
after the vehicle comes to a stop.

Automatic reactivation of TRC and
VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems
off, the systems will be automatically
re-enabled in the following situations:
●
When the power switch is turned off
●
If only the TRC system is turned off,
the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, automatic re-enabling will not
occur when vehicle speed increases.
■
Operating conditions of Active Cor-
nering Assist
The system operates when the following
occurs.
TRC/VSC can operate
●
The driver is attempting to accelerate
●
while turning
●
The system detects that the vehicle is
drifting to the outer side

Reduced effectiveness of the EPS
system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent
steering input over an extended period
of time. The steering wheel may feel
heavy as a result. Should this occur,
refrain from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid sys-
tem off. The EPS system should return
to normal within 10 minutes.
