If the system is used frequently, the
brake actuator temperature may become
too high and a buzzer will sound inter-
the stop lamps and high
mittently.
In this case, a buzzer will sound intermit-
tently. When the temperature of the brake
actuator goes down, the system will begin
to operate again. Until it restarts, the trac-
tion control system, "AUTO LSD" system,
hill- start assist control system and down-
hill assist control system will not operate;
however, the conventional brake can be
operated.

The hill- start assist control system op-
erates for 5 seconds maximally. If both
the brake and accelerator pedals re-
main unexpressed for longer than 5
seconds, the buzzer will sound at more
frequent intervals and the system will
gradually stop operating.
The hill- start assist control system is
not designed as a function for stopping
the vehicle on a uphill slope. When
stopping the vehicle, be sure to de-
press the brake pedal.
