Hill Hold Control System
The hill hold control system is designed to
assist you in starting to move up hills.
When you start to move up a hill, the sys-
tem helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
downward (for approximately 2 seconds)
while you move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
• Do not rely excessively on the hill
hold control system. The hill hold
control system may not prevent the
vehicle from rolling downward on a
hill under all load or road condi-
tions. Always be prepared
depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling downward.
Failure to pay attention
depress the brake pedal to hold the
vehicle on a hill when necessary,
may result in loss of control or an
accident.
• The hill hold control system is not
designed to stop the vehicle on a
hill.

WARNING
(Continued)
• After you release your foot from the
brake pedal, accelerate the vehicle
to move up immediately. If you
release your foot from the brake
pedal over 2 seconds, the hill hold
control system will be canceled. If
so, the vehicle may roll downward,
which can result in an accident
depending on the degree of slope.
And, the engine may stall and the
power assist for the steering and
brakes will not work so steering
and braking will be much harder
than usual which can result in an
to
accident or vehicle damage.
• If you drive on the steep slope, the
gravel, the snow-covered road, or
and
the muddy road and the hill hold
control system is activated, there
may be a possibility that the wheels
will be locked and then the vehicle
may lose the control.
The hill hold control system activates for a
maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is
moved from the brake pedal when the fol-
lowing conditions are all met.
1) The gearshift lever is in a forward gear
or reverse gear.
2) The parking brake is released.
3) The vehicle is on an upward incline.

When the hill hold control system is acti-
vated, the following conditions may be
found, but this is not a malfunction.
• You may hear a sound from the engine
room.
• As brake pedal becomes heavy, it may
be difficult for you to depress it.
