4-5. Using the driving support systems
compartment when the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly, when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to
move. This sound does not indicate that a
malfunction has occurred in any of these
systems.
●
Any of the following conditions may
occur when the above systems are oper-
ating. None of these indicates that a mal-
function has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle
body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the
vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after
the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly
after the ABS is activated.
■
EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a
motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■
Reactivation of the TRC/VSC systems
Even after the TRC/VSC systems have
been turned off, turning the engine off and
then on again will automatically reactivate
the TRC/VSC systems.
■
Reactivation of the TRC system linked
to vehicle speed
When only the TRC system is turned off, the
TRC system will turn on when vehicle speed
increases. However, when both TRC and
VSC systems are turned off, the systems will
not turn on even when vehicle speed
increases.
■
Reduced effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem
The effectiveness of the EPS system is
reduced to prevent the system from over-
heating when there is frequent steering
input over an extended period of time. The
steering wheel may feel heavy as a result.
Should this occur, refrain from excessive
steering input or stop the vehicle and turn
the engine off. The EPS system should
return to normal within 10 minutes.
■

gency brake signal

■
Stopping distance when the ABS is
