Your vehicle is equipped with front
disc brakes. The brakes on the rear
wheels may be disc or drum,
depending on the model. A power
assist helps reduce the effort needed
on the brake pedal. The anti-lock
brake system (ABS) helps you retain
steering control when braking very
hard.
Resting your foot on the pedal keeps
the brakes applied lightly, builds up
heat, increases wear, and reduces
their effectiveness. It also keeps
your brake lights on all the time,
confusing drivers behind you.
Constant application of the brakes
when going down a long hill builds
up heat and reduces their
effectiveness. Use the engine to
assist the brakes by taking your foot
off the accelerator and downshifting
to a lower gear.
Check the brakes after driving
through deep water. Apply the
brakes moderately to see if they feel
normal. If not, apply them gently and
frequently until they do. Be extra
cautious in your driving.
Advanced Hydraulic Booster
Your vehicle is equipped with an
advanced hydraulic booster.
The advanced hydraulic booster has
some features.
Power-Assist
This feature enables you to press the
brake pedal with less force by the
help of hydraulic pressure in the oil
pressure pump.

Braking System

Cooperative Control with Regenerative
Brake
This feature controls the braking
pressure appropriately, coordinating
with the regenerating brake of the
IMA motor.
Creep Aid System
When you release the brake pedal
while the Auto Idle Stop function
activates, this feature keeps the
braking pressure until the engine
starts, and prevents the vehicle from
dropping back.
Brake-Assist
This feature helps you apply the
brakes less forcely during and
emergency braking situation.
