Starting and operating/Vehicle Dynamics Control system
rectly.
. The Vehicle Dynamics Contro l
system helps prevent unstable
vehicle motion such as skidding
using control of the brakes, en-
gine power and electric motor
power. Do not turn off the Vehicle
Dynamics Control system unless
it is absolutely necessary. If you
must turn off the Vehicle Dy-
namics Control system, drive
very carefully according to the
road surface conditions.
& System features
In the event of wheelspin and/or skidding
on a slippery road surface and/or during
cornering and/or an evasive maneuver,
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system
adjusts the hybrid system’s output and
the wheels’ respective braking forces to
help maintain traction and directional
control.
. Traction Control Function
The traction control function is designed to
prevent spinning of the driving wheels on
slippery road surfaces, thereby helping to
maintain traction and directional control.
Activation of this function is shown by
flashing the Vehicle Dynamics Control
operation indicator light.
. Skid Suppression Function
The skid suppression function is designed
to help maintain directional stability by
suppressing the wheels’ tendency to slide
sideways during steering operations. Acti-
vation of this function is shown by flashing
the Vehicle Dynamics Control operation
indicator light.
NOTE
. The Vehicle Dynamics Control sys-
tem may be considered normal when
the following conditions occur.
– Slight twitching of the brake
pedal is felt.
– The vehicle or steering wheel
shakes to a small degree.
– An operating sound from the
engine compartment is heard
briefly when starting the hybrid
system and when driving off after
starting the hybrid system.
– The brake pedal seems to jolt
when driving off after starting the
hybrid system.
. In the circumstances shown in the
following list, the vehicle may be less
stable than it feels to the driver. The
Vehicle Dynamics Control System may
therefore operate. Such operation does
not indicate a system malfunction.
– on gravel-covered or rutted
roads
– on unfinished roads
– when the vehicle is fitted with
snow tires or winter tires
. Activation of the Vehicle Dynamics
Control system will cause operation of
the steering wheel to feel slightly
different compared to that for normal
conditions.
. It is always important to reduce
speed when approaching a corner,
even if your vehicle is equipped with
the Vehicle Dynamics Control system.
. Always turn off the hybrid system
before replacing a tire. Failure to do so
may render the Vehicle Dynamics Con-
trol system unable to operate correctly.
