1Foot Brake

Foot Brake

■

Check the brakes after driving through deep water,

or if there is a buildup of road surface water. If

necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the

pedal several times.

Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. A vacuum power assist

helps to reduce the effort needed on the brake pedal. The brake assist system

increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an

emergency situation. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you to retain steering

control when braking very hard.

If you hear a continuous metallic friction sound when

applying the brakes, the brake pads need to be

replaced. Have the vehicle checked by a dealer.

2 Brake Assist System P. 456

2 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) P. 455

Constantly using the brake pedal while going down a

long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake

effectiveness. Apply engine braking by taking your

foot off the accelerator pedal and downshifting to a

lower gear/speed position. With manual transmission

use a lower gear for greater engine braking.

Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while

driving, as it will lightly apply the brakes and cause

them to lose effectiveness over time and reduce pad

life. It will also confuse drivers behind you.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

1Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)

ABS

■

NOTICE

Helps to prevent the wheels from locking up, and helps you retain steering control

by pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than you.

The ABS may not function if you use a tyre of the

wrong size or type.

The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also

balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading.

If the ABS indicator comes on while driving, there

may be a problem with the system. While normal

braking will not be affected, there is a possibility that

the ABS will not operating. Have your vehicle

checked by a dealer immediately.

You should never pump the brake pedal. Let the ABS work for you by always

keeping firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal. This is sometimes referred to as

“stomp and steer.”

The ABS is not designed for the purpose of reducing

the time or distance it takes for a vehicle to stop: It is

designed to limit brake lockup which can lead to

skidding and loss of steering control.

■ ABS operation

The brake pedal may pulsate slightly when the ABS is working. Keep holding the

pedal firmly down. On dry pavement, you will need to press on the brake pedal very

hard before the ABS activates. However, you may feel the ABS activate immediately

if you are trying to stop on snow or ice.

In the following cases, your vehicle may need more

distance to stop than a vehicle without the ABS:

• You are driving on rough or uneven road surfaces,

such as gravel or snow.

When the vehicle speed goes under 10 km/h, the ABS stops.

• The tyres are equipped with tyre chains.

You may hear a motor sound coming from the

engine compartment while system checks are being

performed immediately after starting the engine or

while driving. This is normal.

Is designed to assist the driver by generating greater braking force when you depress

the brake pedal hard during emergency braking.

■ Brake assist system operation

Press the brake pedal firmly for more powerful braking.

When brake assist operates, the pedal may wiggle slightly and an operating noise

may be heard. This is normal. Keep holding the brake pedal firmly down.

uuBrakinguCity-Brake Active system

City-Brake Active system

Can assist you when driving at a low speed, and there is a possibility of your vehicle

colliding with a vehicle detected right in front of yours. The City-Brake Active system

is designed to alert you when a potential collision is determined, as well as to reduce

your vehicle speed when a collision is deemed unavoidable to help to minimise

collision severity.

1City-Brake Active system

3WARNING

Do not rely on the city-brake active system

to avoid every possible frontal collision.

Failure to pay close attention to a vehicle

ahead of you, and to operate the brake

pedal appropriately according to the

situation can cause serious injury or death.

How the System Works

■

A laser sensor starts to monitor if there is a vehicle in front of you when your

vehicle speed is between about 5 km/h (3 mph) and about 32 km/h (20 mph).

For the system to work properly:

• Always keep the upper part of the windscreen

clean. Wipe away any dirt, ice, frost, etc.

• Do not impact the area around the laser sensor

when cleaning the windscreen.

Laser Sensor

The laser sensor is behind

the rearview mirror.

• Do not remove the laser sensor form the unit.

Manual transmission models

When the vehicle comes to a stop with the system’s

automatic braking, the engine may stop. To start the

engine again, follow the standard procedure.

2 Starting the Engine P. 392, 395

The system activates when the speed difference between your vehicle and a

vehicle detected in front of you is about 5 km/h (3 mph) to 32 km/h (20 mph)

with a high chance of collision.

The system don’t activate when shift position is (R.

Collision Alert Stages

■

The system may not activate or may not detect a

vehicle in front of your vehicle under the following

conditions:

• A vehicle in front of you is diagonally, horizontally,

or frontally positioned.

• The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle

ahead of you is too short.

• The speed difference between your vehicle and a

vehicle ahead of you is large.

• A vehicle cuts in front of you, and brakes suddenly.

• You rapidly accelerate your vehicle, getting closer

to a vehicle ahead.

• An oncoming vehicle suddenly drifts in front of

you.

The beeper sounds, and a CTBA warning

blinks on the multi-information display, and

hard braking is applied when a possible

collision becomes likely unavoidable.

This automatic braking with the system

activated is cancelled after the vehicle comes

to a complete stop.

Apply the brakes accordingly.

A symbol indicating that the system has

activated appears on the multi-information

display after the vehicle is stopped.

2 Multi-Information Display Warning and

Information Messages P. 110

• Your vehicle suddenly drifts into the oncoming

lane.

• A vehicle suddenly crosses in front of you at

intersections.

• When driving in bad weather (heavy rain, fog,

snow, etc.).

The system may be cancelled if you operate

the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal, or the

steering wheel to avoid the collision.

• When driving on a curved or winding road.

• A vehicle in front of you is extremely dirty, making

it difficult to reflect radio waves well.

• You depress the brake pedal or turn the steering

wheel to avoid a collision.

• A vehicle ahead of you is a motorcycle or other

small vehicle the sensor cannot detect properly.

• The upper part of the windscreen around the laser

sensor is covered with dirt, ice frost, etc.

The system may not activate while you are fully

depressing the accelerator pedal.

The system may automatically shut off, and the CTBA

indicator can come on and the message can appear

on the multi-information display when:

You can turn the system on and off using the

multi-information display.

2 Customized Features P. 131

• The temperature around the laser sensor on the

upper part of the windscreen becomes high.

• The area around the laser sensor, which is located

in the upper part of the windscreen, is covered with

obstacles, such as dirt, ice and frost.

When the system is off, the CTBA indicator in

the instrument panel comes on.

• The bonnet is covered with obstacles such as snow.

The City-Brake Active system is turned on

every time you start the engine, even if you

turned it off the last time you drove the

vehicle.

Stop your vehicle in a safe place, and

• Use the air conditioning system to cool down the

interior if the laser sensor temperature is high.

• Remove any obstacles such as dirt and snow from

the windscreen and bonnet.

2 Indicators P. 106

Once the conditions that caused the system to shut

off improve, the system comes back on.

Turn off the system when:

• You use a dynamometer or put the wheels on a

roller.

• Driving off road or on a mountainous road

obstructed with branches and leaves.

*1: Models with the keyless access system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an ignition

switch.

With Little Chance of a Collision

■

Take your vehicle to a dealer if you need the laser

sensor or area around it to be repaired, or removed,

or the area around the laser sensor is strongly

impacted.

The system may activate even when you are aware of a vehicle ahead of you, or

when there is no vehicle ahead. Some examples of this are:

■ When passing

Your vehicle approaches another vehicle ahead of you and you change lanes to pass.

Do not alter your vehicle’s suspension.

Changing the vehicle height prevents the system to

work properly.

■ At an intersection

Your vehicle approaches or passes another vehicle that is making a left or right turn.

Make sure to use the same size and type of tyre for all

four wheels. Use the tyres that are all in about the

same condition with adequate tread. If not, the

system may operate abnormally.

■ Through a low bridge

You drive under a low or narrow bridge.

The system may not work properly if:

• Your vehicle has heavy load in the rear.

• Tyres are over- or underinflated.

■ Speed bumps, road work sites, train tracks, roadside objects, etc.

You drive over speed bumps, steel road plates, etc., or your vehicle approaches train

tracks or roadside objects, such as a traffic sign and guard rail, on a curve.

■ When parking

Your vehicle approaches a stationary vehicle or wall.

uuBrakinguEmergency Stop Signal

Emergency Stop Signal

Activates when you brake hard while driving at 60 km/h (37 mph) or above to alert

drivers behind you about sudden braking by rapidly flashing hazard warning lights.

This may help to alert drivers behind you to take appropriate means to avoid a

possible collision with your vehicle.

1Emergency Stop Signal

The emergency stop signal is not a system that can

prevent a possible rear-end collision caused by your

hard braking. It flashes the hazard warning lights at

the time you are braking hard. It is always

recommended to avoid hard braking unless it is

absolutely necessary.

■ When the system activates:

Hard Braking

The emergency stop signal does not activate with the

hazard warning button pressed in.
