Hill-Start Assist Control; Points For Use; Operating Conditions - Toyota VIOS Owner's Manual

Hill-start assist control

When the engine is stopped by the Stop & Start system when the
vehicle is on an incline, when the brake pedal is released, brake force
is temporarily maintained to prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards before the engine is restarted and drive force is generated.
When drive force is generated, the maintained brake force is automat-
ically canceled.
● This function operates on flat surfaces as well as steep inclines.
● Sound may be generated from the brake system, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
● Brake pedal response may change and vibration may occur, but
this does not indicate a malfunction.
■

Points for use

If the engine switch is pressed when the engine is stopped by the Stop &
●
Start system, the engine will not be able to be restarted by the automatic
engine start function. In this case, restart the engine using the normal
engine starting procedure. (P. 220, 223)
● When the engine is being restarted by the Stop & Start system, the power
outlets may be temporarily unusable, but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
● Installation and removal of electrical components and wireless devices may
affect the Stop & Start system. Contact your Toyota dealer for details.
When stopping the vehicle for a longer period of time, turn the engine switch
●
off to stop the engine completely.
When the engine is restarted by the Stop & Start system, the steering wheel
●
may temporarily feel heavy.
