'07 HIGHLANDER HV_U (L/O 0608) Compared with vehicles without an anti −lock brake device, your vehicle may require a longer stopping distance in the following cases: TRACTION CONTROL FUNCTION The traction control function is designed to help prevent skid of the drive wheels during sudden acceleration on slippery road surfaces. You may feel vibration or noise in your vehicle, caused by operation of the brakes. VEHICLE FUNCTION STABILITY CONTROL D Driving on rough, gravel or snow− covered roads. The vehicle stability control function is designed to help prevent skid of the wheels while cornering on slippery road surfaces or when turning the steering wheel abruptly. The system controls the driving and braking forces on each tire and also controls the power steering assistance to help the driver to recover vehicle stability. D Driving with tire chains installed. D Driving over the steps such as the joints on the road. CAUTION Under certain slippery road conditions, full traction of the vehicle and power against drive wheels cannot be maintained, even though the traction control system is in operation. Do not drive the vehicle under any speed or maneuvering conditions which may cause the vehicle to lose traction control. In situations where the road surface is covered with ice or snow, your vehicle should be fitted with snow tires or tire chains. Always drive at a moderate speed. D Driving on roads where the road surface is pitted or has other differences in surface height. If tire grip performance exceeds its capability, or if hydroplaning occurs during high speed driving in the rain, the anti −lock brake system does not provide vehicle control. CAUTION Depending on the road conditions, the vehicle stability control function may not be able to stabilize your vehicle. Always drive at a moderate speed. 171 2007 HIGHLANDER HV from July '06 Prod. (OM48685U)
