07 12.25 Keep in mind the following when driving. D The hill−start assist control system operates for 5 seconds maximally. If both the brake and accelerator pedals remain undepressed for longer than 5 seconds, the buzzer will sound at more frequent intervals and the system will gradually stop operating. If the system continues to operate, the buzzer sound changes from intermittent to continuous. (The continuous buzzer sounds for about 3 seconds.) At this time, the slip indicator light will come on and the hill −start assist control system stops operating temporarily in order to protect the brake actuator. (Although the hill −start assist control system does not operate, it is no problem to continue your driving.) The system will be automatically restored after a short time and the slip indicator light goes out. CY16074 D The hill−start assist control system is not designed as a function for stopping the vehicle on a uphill slope. When stopping the vehicle, be sure to depress the brake pedal. The brake actuator temperature increases during continuous operation of the downhill assist control system (four −wheel drive models), the traction control system (two− wheel drive models), the active traction control system (four −wheel drive models), the vehicle stability control system and the "AUTO LSD" system (two−wheel drive models) on such as slippery roads. If the brake actuator temperature becomes too high while any of the systems is operating, a buzzer will start to sound intermittently to indicate that the hill −start assist control system can no longer operate. In this case, stop your vehicle immediately at a safe place. If there is any abnormality in the system, the "VSC OFF" warning light will flash. If the system malfunctions, the "VSC OFF" warning light will flash. If the "VSC OFF" warning light flashes, there may be an abnormality in any of the following systems in addition to the hill − start assist control system.
