Braking
a loss of control of the vehicle . Keep driving straight ahead while gradually reducing speed . Then slowly pull off the road to a safe place .
& Brake system
S07AK02
! Two separate circuits
S07AK0201
Your vehicle has two separate circuit brake systems . Each circuit works diagonally across the vehicle . If one circuit of the brake system should fail , the other half of the system still works . If one circuit fails , the brake pedal will go down much closer to the floor than usual and you will need to press it down much harder . A much longer distance will be needed to stop the vehicle .
! Electronic brake booster
S07AK0207
The vehicle is equipped with an electronic brake booster to provide additional braking force . Do not turn off the ignition switch while driving because that will turn off the brake booster , resulting in poor braking power .
The brakes will continue to work even when the brake booster completely stops functioning . If this happens , you will have to depress the pedal much harder than during normal braking , and the braking distance will increase .
NOTE
When the following operations are performed , an operating sound from the electronic brake boost control module may be heard . This is not a malfunction .
. The brake pedal was operated . . The driver ’ s door was opened . . The EyeSight function was activated .
. Several minutes have passed after the engine stopped .
! Supplemental booster function when pressure fails
S07AK020701
If there is a malfunction in the braking system , the power for the braking will be stored by controlling the hydraulic pressure of the VDC system .
When the brake pedal is depressed while the supplemental booster function is operating , an operation sound and brake pedal vibration may be generated .
! Brake assist system
WARNING
S07AK0203
Do not be overconfident about the brake assist . It is not a system that brings more braking ability to the vehicle beyond its braking capability . Always use the utmost care when driving regarding vehicle speed and safe distance .
CAUTION
When you need to brake suddenly , continue depressing the brake pedal strongly to bring the effect of the brake assist .
Brake assist is a driver assistance system . It assists the brake power when the driver cannot depress the brake pedal strongly and the brake power is insufficient .
Brake assist generates the brake power according to the speed at which the driver depresses the brake pedal .
NOTE
When you depress the brake pedal strongly or suddenly , the following will occur . However , even though these occur , they do not indicate any malfunctions , and the brake assist system is operating properly .
. You might feel that the brake pedal is applied by lighter force and generates a greater braking force .
. You might hear an ABS operating noise from the engine compartment .
