NOTE
l
If the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position or the operation mode is
put in OFF with the selector lever in any po-
sition other than “P” (Park) position, the
message may appear on the information
screen in the multi-information display.
If the message appears, shift the selector lev-
er to the “P” (Park) position while depress-
ing the brake pedal.
To start the vehicle
Depress the acceleration pedal with the selec-
tor lever in any position other than “P” (Park)
or “N” (Neutral).
The brakes are released, and the brake auto
hold indication lamp in the instrument cluster
will go off.
To turn off brake auto hold
Press the brake auto hold switch to turn brake
auto hold off. The indication lamp on the
switch goes off.
If you want to turn off the system while the
brake auto hold indication lamp is illumina-
ted, press the switch while depressing the
brake pedal.
NOTE
l If the brake auto hold system is turned off
without the brake pedal being depressed, a
buzzer will sound and the message will ap-
pear on the information screen in the multi

Hill start assist
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off
on a steep uphill slope by preventing the ve-
hicle from moving backwards. It keeps the
braking force for approximately 2 seconds
when you move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION
l
Do not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle.
Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not
sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heav-
ily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip-
pery.
l
The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes
for more than 2 seconds.
l When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position
as an alternative to depressing the brake ped-
al.
Doing so could result in an accident.
l
Do not turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF while the hill start as-
sist is operating. The hill start assist could
stop operating, which could result in an acci-
dent.
To operate
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. On vehicles equipped with M/T, place
the gearshift lever into the 1
st
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T or CVT,
place the selector lever into the “D” po-
sition.
