(The hill start assist will operate, even if the
5
gearshift lever is in the "N" (Neutral) posi-
tion.)
[When starting an uphill slope backwards.]
The gearshift lever is in the "R" (Reverse)
position.
(The hill start assist will not operate when

• On vehicles with CVT, the selector lever is
in any position other than "P" (PARK) or
"N" (NEUTRAL).
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
 The hill start assist will not operate if the

tem, the following indicator will turn on.

CAUTION
 If the warning is displayed, the hill start

Brake assist system
The brake assist system is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal
firmly such as in emergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the
brakes will be applied with more force than
N00562800092
usual.
CAUTION
 The brake assist system is not a device
designed to exercise braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a
sufficient distance between your vehicle and
a vehicle in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
NOTE
 Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
 When the brake assist system is in use while
driving, you may feel as if the depressed
brake pedal is soft, the pedal moves in small
motions in conjunction with the operation
noise, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
depress the brake pedal.

 When the anti-lock brake system warning
light is illuminated, the brake assist system is
not functioning.
