Emergency Stop Signal
System
If you apply the brakes suddenly while
driving at a speed of about 55 km/h (34
mph) or faster, the emergency stop signal
system automatically and rapidly flashes
all the direction indicator lights to caution
drivers behind your vehicle of the sudden
braking situation.
NOTE

Flashing
When you bring your vehicle to a
complete stop while all the direction
indicator lights are flashing rapidly, the
rapid flashing of all the direction
indicator lights changes back to the
normal flashing pattern. When the
hazard warning light switch is pressed,
all of the direction indicator lights turn
off.

Operation

When the ABS operates, the
emergency stop signal system is more
likely to operate. Therefore, if the
brake pedal is depressed on a slippery
road, all of the direction indicator
lights may flash.

The emergency stop signal system
does not operate when the hazard
warning light switch is pressed.
Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
HLA is a function which assists the driver
in accelerating from a stop while on a
slope. When the driver releases the brake
pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal
while on a slope, the function prevents the
vehicle from rolling. The braking force is
maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.
For vehicles with a manual transaxle,
HLA operates on a downward slope when
the shift lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the
shift lever is in a position other than the
reverse (R) position.
For vehicles with an automatic transaxle,
HLA operates on a downward slope when
the selector lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the
selector lever is in a forward gear.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on HLA:
HLA is an auxiliary device for accelerating
from a stop on a slope. The system only
operates for about 2 seconds and
therefore, relying only on the system, when
accelerating from a stop is dangerous
because the vehicle may move (roll)
unexpectedly and cause an accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the
vehicle's load or if it is towing something. In
addition, for vehicles with a manual
transaxle, the vehicle could still roll
depending on how the clutch pedal or the
accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the vehicle.
