WARNING
The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates for a
maximum of four seconds after releasing the brake pedal when starting the vehicle
after the vehicle is stopped with the i-stop function operating:
l
Over reliance on the system may result in an unexpected accident if the vehicle
were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting to drive the vehicle, always confirm the
safety of the surroundings and operate the shift lever, brake pedal, and accelerator
pedal appropriately.
l
The vehicle could roll unexpectedly depending on the vehicle's load or if it is
towing something. Note that the vehicle may move suddenly after the vehicle roll
prevention function is released while the vehicle is under the following conditions:
(The shift lever is in the N position.)
If the shift lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released while the
i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To accelerate the
vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine restarts and shift the shift lever to a
position other than the N position.
NOTE
l
When the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function
does not operate because the idling stop does not operate.
l
The brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the brake
pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
