Vehicle Roll Prevention Function
- Release foot from brake pedal
- Vehicle brake force maintained
- Engine restarted
- Acceleration
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.
-
The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates
for a maximum of 2 seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the
vehicle from an engine idling stop condition. 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 selector lever, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal appropriately.
Note that the vehicle may move suddenly 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 selector lever is in the N position.
-
If the selector 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 selector lever to a position other than the N position.
When Driving — Start/Stop Engine (4-16)
NOTE
-
When the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function
does not operate because engine idling is not stopped.
-
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.
