Braking - Honda Pilot 2019 Owner's Manual

DRIVING
Activating Auto Idle Stop
n
When the vehicle stops with the gear position in Drive (D) and the brake
pedal is pressed, the engine turns off and the auto idle stop indicator
appears.
• If you put the transmission into Park (P) after the Auto Idle Stop activates,
the Auto Idle Stop continues to operate even if the brake pedal is
released. If you change the gear position, the engine may automatically
restart.
• If you release the brake pedal, turn the steering wheel, or press the
accelerator pedal, the engine restarts and the vehicle begins to move.
Auto idle stop may not activate (or the engine may automatically restart)
when the engine is warming up, the air conditioning system is on, the 12V
battery is charging, or when other conditions are met. For a complete list of
conditions, see your Owner's Manual at www.owners.honda.com.
Turning the System On or Off
n
The Auto Idle Stop system is turned on every time you start the engine, even
if you turned it off the last time you drove the vehicle.
Press the Auto Idle Stop Off button to
turn the system off. The amber auto idle
stop indicator comes on. Press the
button again to turn it on.

Foot Brake
n
Press the brake pedal to slow down or
stop your vehicle from moving.
Your vehicle is equipped with disc
brakes at all four wheels. A vacuum
power assist helps reduce the effort
needed on the brake pedal. The brake
assist system increases the stopping
force when you depress the brake
pedal hard in an emergency situation.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering control when
braking very hard.
Parking Brake
n
Keep the vehicle from moving when it is
parked.
To apply: Press the parking brake with
your foot.
To release: Press the brake pedal, then
press the parking brake until it
releases.
Brake Assist System
n
During hard or emergency braking, the system increases braking force. The
brake pedal may move slightly or make a noise; this is normal. Continue to
hold the brake pedal firmly down.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
n
During hard or emergency braking, the system rapidly pumps the brakes to
prevent wheel lockup and help you maintain steering control. Do not pump
the brake pedal, rather continue to hold it firmly down.
