If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the
brakes will be applied with more force than
usual.
CAUTION
l The brake assist system is not a device de-
signed to exercise braking force greater than
its capacity. Make sure to always keep a suf-
ficient distance between your vehicle and a
vehicle in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
NOTE
l Once the brake assist system is operational,
it maintains great braking force even if the
brake pedal is lightly released.
To stop its operation, completely remove
your foot from the brake pedal.
l The brake assist system may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully de-
pressed even if it has not been depressed
suddenly.
l When the brake assist system is in use, you
may feel as if the depressed brake pedal is
soft, the pedal moves in small motions in
conjunction with the sound of the ABS oper-
ation, or the vehicle body and the steering
wheel vibrate. This occurs when the brake
assist system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue to
firmly depress the brake pedal.
NOTE
l
You may hear an operation noise when the
brake pedal is depressed suddenly while sta-
tionary. This does not indicate a malfunction
and the brake assist system is operating nor-
mally.
l When the anti-lock brake system warning
lamp or only Active Stability Control warn-
ing lamp illuminate, the brake assist system
in not functioning.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
The Active Yaw Control (AYC) is a system
with a yaw control function, that controls the
left-right driving/braking force using the
brakes.
Yaw control function
The yaw control function is a function that
enhances vehicle cornering performance and
vehicle stability with management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling
the drive power difference of the left and
right wheels and the braking force when the
vehicle does not turn in response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel is
turned quickly or when driving on slippery
road.
CAUTION
l
Control of the braking force does not en-
hance the stopping performance of the vehi-
cle, therefore, pay careful attention to the
safety of your surroundings when driving.
