In the event that the power-

assisted brakes lose power because

of a stalled engine or some other

side when the brakes are applied.

Applying the brakes lightly will

indicate whether they have been

affected in this way. Always test

your brakes in this fashion after

driving through deep water. To

dry the brakes, apply them lightly

while maintaining a safe forward

speed until brake performance

returns to normal.

䳜 Always, confirm the position of

the brake and accelerator pedal

before driving. If you don't check

the position of the accelerator

and brake pedal before driving,

you may depress the accelerator

cause a serious accident.

cle by applying greater force to the

brake pedal than you normally

would. The stopping distance, how

ever, will be longer.

When the engine is not running, the

reserve brake power is partially

depleted each time the brake pedal

is applied. Do not pump the brake

pedal when the power assist has

been interrupted.

Pump the brake pedal only when

necessary to maintain steering con

In the event of brake failure

䳜 Do not drive with your foot rest

ing on the brake pedal. This will

create abnormal high brake tem

and pad wear, and increased

stopping distances.

If service brakes fail to operate

while the vehicle is in motion, you

can make an emergency stop with

the parking brake. The stopping dis

tance, however, will be much

greater than normal.

WARNING

䳜 Press the accelerator pedal slowly

when you start the vehicle.

䳜 For your safety, cancel the Auto

Hold when you drive downhill or

back up the vehicle or park the

vehicle.

During these conditions the vehicle

should be driven at reduced speeds:

䳜 Rough, gravel or snow-covered

roads.

䳜 With tire chains installed.

䳜 On roads where the road surface

is pitted or has different surface

height.

CAUTION

If there is a malfunction with the

driver䳓s door or engine hood open

detection system, the Auto Hold

may not work properly.

The safety features of an ABS (or

ESC) equipped vehicle should not be

tested by high speed driving or cor

safety of yourself or others.

-

During the pressure-hold period, the

driver has enough time to press the

The braking pressure is reduced as

soon as the system detects the

driver䳓s intention to drive off.

NOTICE

䳜 When operating the vehicle on a

dynamometer, ensure that the

ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light

ESS: Emergency Stop Signal

NOTICE

The Emergency Stop Signal system

alerts the driver behind by blinking

the stop light when the vehicle sud

denly stops or when the ABS acti

vates in a stop. (The system

activates when the vehicle speed is

over 55km/h and the vehicle decel

eration is over 7m/s1 or the ABS

activates when the vehicle emer

gency braking.)

䳜 The VSM is designed to function

above approximately 15 km/h (9

mph) on curves.

䳜 The VSM is designed to function

above approximately 30 km/h (18

mph) when a vehicle is braking on

a split-mu road. The split-mu

road is made of surfaces which

have different friction forces.

-

When the vehicle speed is under 40

km/h and the ABS deactivates or

the sudden stop situation is over,

the stop light blinking will stop.

WARNING

䳜 The Vehicle Stability Management

system is not a substitute for

safe driving practices but a sup

-

plementary function only. It is the

responsibility of the driver to

always check the speed and the

distance to the vehicle ahead.

Always hold the steering wheel

firmly while driving.

CAUTION

The Emergency Stop Signal system

will not work if the hazard warning

flasher is already on.

䳜 Your vehicle is designed to acti

intention, even with installed VSM.

Always follow all the normal pre

cautions for driving at safe

speeds for the conditions 䳍

including driving inclement

weather and on a slippery road.

䳜 Driving with varying tire or wheel

sizes may cause the VSM system

to malfunction. When replacing

WARNING

䳜 Whenever leaving vehicle or park

-

䳜 Don't coast down hills with the car

out of gear. This is extremely

hazardous. Keep the car in gear at

all times, use the brakes to slow

down, then shift to a lower gear

so that engine braking will help

you maintain a safe speed.

䳜 Don't "ride" the brake pedal. Rest

ing your foot on the brake pedal

while driving can be dangerous

ing, always set the parking brake

as far as possible and fully engage

the vehicle's transmission into the

park position. Vehicles not fully

engaged in park with the parking

brake set are at risk for moving

inadvertently and injuring your

self or others.

䳜 All vehicles should always have

the parking brake fully engaged

when parking to avoid inadvertent

movement of the car which can

injure occupants or pedestrians.

-

because it can result in the brakes

overheating and losing their

effectiveness. It also increases

the wear of the brake compo

-

nents.

䳜 After parking the vehicle, check to

be sure the parking brake is not

engaged and that the parking

brake indicator light is out before

driving away.

䳜 Driving through water may get

the brakes wet. They can also get

wet when the car is washed. Wet

brakes can be dangerous! Your

car will not stop as quickly if the

brakes are wet. Wet brakes may

cause the car to pull to one side.

To dry the brakes, apply the

brakes lightly until the braking

action returns to normal, taking

care to keep the car under control

at all times. If the braking action

does not return to normal, stop as

soon as it is safe to do so and

䳜 If a tire goes flat while you are

driving, apply the brakes gently

and keep the car pointed straight

ahead while you slow down. When

you are moving slowly enough for

it to be safe to do so, pull off the

road and stop in a safe place.

䳜 Be cautious when parking on a hill.

Firmly engage the parking brake

and place the shift lever in P

(Park). If your car is facing down

-

hill, turn the front wheels into the

curb to help keep the car from
