AUTOHOLD

Do not rely completely on the AUTOHOLD function.

The AUTOHOLD function is only designed to assist the brake operation while the vehicle is stopped. Neglecting to operate the brakes and relying only on the AUTOHOLD system is dangerous and could result in an unexpected accident if the vehicle were to suddenly move. Operate the brakes appropriately in accordance with the road and surrounding conditions. Note that the vehicle may move suddenly depending on the vehicle’s load or if it is towing something.

Do not release your foot from the brake pedal while the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade.

Because there is a possibility of the vehicle not being held in the stopped position by the AUTOHOLD function, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident.

Refrain from using the AUTOHOLD function on slippery roads such as icy or snow-covered roads, or unpaved roads.

Even if the vehicle is held in the stopped position by the AUTOHOLD function, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. Operate the accelerator pedal, brakes, or steering wheel appropriately as necessary.

Immediately depress the brake pedal in the following case.

Because the AUTOHOLD function is canceled forcibly, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident.

• The message “Depress Brake Pedal. Brake Hold Disabled” is displayed on the instrument cluster and the warning sound is activated at the same time.

When parking and before leaving the vehicle, apply the parking brake.

Otherwise, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and result in an accident. When parking and before leaving the vehicle, shift the selector lever to the P position and apply the parking brake.
