Brake assist system

CAUTION
 The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds.
 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 cause an accident.
 Do not put the operation mode of the power
switch in OFF or ACC while the hill start
assist is operating. The hill start assist could
stop operating, which could result in an acci-

seconds.

start assist will gradually decrease the
braking force as the vehicle starts moving.
