WARNING
Handling of tires and the suspen-
■
sion
Using tires with any kind of problem
or modifying the suspension will affect
the driving assist systems, and may
cause a system to malfunction.
Trailer Sway Control precaution
■
The Trailer Sway Control system is
not able to reduce trailer sway in all
situations. Depending on many fac-
tors such as the conditions of the
vehicle, trailer, road surface and driv-
ing environment, the Trailer Sway
Control system may not be effective.
Refer to your trailer owner's manual
for information on how to tow your
trailer properly.
If trailer sway occurs
■
Observe the following precautions.
Failing to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
Firmly grip the steering wheel.
●
Steer straight ahead. Do not try to
control trailer swaying by turning
the steering wheel.
●
Begin releasing the accelerator
pedal immediately but very gradu-
ally to reduce speed.
Do not increase speed. Do not
apply vehicle brakes.
If you make no extreme correction
with the steering or brakes, your vehi-
cle and trailer should stabilize.

Secondary Collision Brake
■
Do not rely solely upon the Secondary
Collision Brake. This system is
designed to help reduce the possibil-
ity of further damage due to a second-
ary collision, however, that effect
changes according to various condi-
tions. Overly relying on the system
may result in death or serious injury.
