Trailer Brakes
If a trailer is being towed that has trailer brakes and the
trailer brakes are manually applied while driving slower
than 25 mph (40 km/h), the vehicle may go into auto
stop mode even if the brakes are not being pressed.
Using the trailer brake system manually can make the
hybrid vehicle perform as if the brake pedal in the
vehicle is being pressed. The trailer brake operation
check will still work. If the trailer brakes are manually
applied for an extended period of time, the SERVICE
BRAKE SYSTEM DIC message comes on. The
message goes off after the trailer brakes have been
released. No other action is necessary. For more
information, see
“ Trailer Brakes ” in the Index of the
vehicle's owner manual.
