6 Adjusting the brake release timing of hill
start assist system
The timing at which the hill start assist system
releases the brakes should be adjusted if you expe-
rience any of the following conditions when the sys-
tem is in operation:
•
Brakes drag when the vehicle is restarted (too
late release of the brakes).
•
The vehicle moves downhill when restarting the
vehicle on a slope (too early release of the
brakes).
•
The brake release timing does not agree with
your way of controlling the vehicle.
WARNING
•
Adjust the brake release timing only on a
level surface after making sure the area
around the vehicle is safe. Performing the
adjustment on a slope could result in an
accident since the vehicle may move
downward.
•
Always check safety in the area around the
vehicle when testing the system operation
on a slope after adjusting the brake
release timing. Should the vehicle go
downhill during the test, stop the vehicle
by applying the parking brake or depress-
ing the brake pedal.
•
Improper adjustment of the brake release
timing will lead to premature wear of or
damage
Improper adjustment may also lead to an
accident since the vehicle can move even
when the hill start assist system is nor-
mally operating.
1. Check that the parking brake is fully applied.
2. Check that the gearshift lever is in the neutral
position.
3. Start the engine.
