The brake assist system is a device assisting
drivers who cannot depress the brake pedal
firmly such as in emergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the
brakes will be applied with more force than
usual.
To operate
NOTE
 The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the engine is starting or immediately
after the engine is started.)
• The selector lever is in any position other
than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
 The hill start assist will not operate if the

Brake assist system
CAUTION
 The brake assist system is not a device
designed to exercise braking force greater
than its capacity. Make sure to always keep a
sufficient distance between vehicles in front
of you without relying too much on the brake
assist system.
NOTE
 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.
 The brake assist system may become opera-
tional when the brake pedal is fully
depressed even if it has not been depressed
suddenly.
