& Braking tips
S07AK01
WARNING
Never rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. This can cause
dangerous overheating of the
brakes and needless wear on the
brake pads.
! When the brakes get wet
S07AK0101
When driving in rain or after washing the
vehicle, the brakes may get wet. As a
result, brake stopping distance will be
longer. To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle
at a safe speed while lightly depressing the
brake pedal to heat up the brakes.
! Use of engine braking
S07AK0102
Remember to make use of engine braking
in addition to foot braking. When descend-
ing a grade, if only the foot brake is used,
the brakes may start working improperly
because of brake fluid overheating,
caused by overheated brake pads. To help
prevent this, shift into a lower gear to get
stronger engine braking.
! Braking when a tire is punctured
S07AK0103
Do not depress the brake pedal suddenly
when a tire is punctured. This could cause
a loss of control of the vehicle. Keep
driving straight ahead while gradually
reducing speed. Then slowly pull off the
road to a safe location.
& 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. And a much
longer distance will be needed to stop the
vehicle.
! Brake booster
S07AK0202
The vehicle is equipped with an electronic
brake booster to provide additional braking
force. Do not turn off the hybrid system
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 acti-
vated.
– Several minutes have passed
after the hybrid system stopped.
. Vibration may occur when the brake
pedal was depressed and the vehicle
speed was reduced from approximately
9 mph (15 km/h) to 0 mph (0 km/h),
however this is not abnormal.
! Supplemental booster function
when pressure fails
S07AK0205
If there is a malfunction in the breaking
system, the power for the breaking will be
stored by controlling the hydraulic pres-
sure of the VDC system.
When the brake pedal is depressed while
the supplemental booster function is oper-
ating, an operation sound and brake pedal
vibration may be generated.
