Starting and driving
WARNING
l
Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do-
ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency.
Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor
mat is securely held in place.
Brake pads
l
Avoid hard braking situations.
New brakes need to be broken-in by moder-
ate use for the first 200 km (124 miles).
l
The disc brakes are provided with a warning
device which emits a shrieking metallic
sound while braking if the brake pads have
reached their wear limit.
4
If you hear this sound, have the brake pads re-
placed immediately.
WARNING
l
Driving with worn brake pads will make
it harder to stop, and can cause an acci-
dent.

Hill start assist
(vehicles with Twin Clutch SST)
E00628000113
The hill start assist makes it easy to start off on a
steep uphill slope by preventing the vehicle from
moving backwards. It keeps the braking force for
about 2 seconds when you move your foot from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
CAUTION
l
Do not overly rely on the hill start assist
to prevent backwards movement of the ve-
hicle. Under certain circumstances, even
when hill start assist is activated, the vehi-
cle may move backwards if the brake ped-
al is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehi-
cle is heavily loaded, or if the road is very
steep or slippery.
l
The hill start assist is not designed to
keep the vehicle stopped in place on up-
hill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
l
When facing uphill, do not rely on using
the hill start assist to maintain a stopped
position as an alternative to depressing
the brake pedal.
Doing so could result in an accident.
l
Do not turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" or "ACC" position while the
hill start assist is operating.
The hill start assist could stop operating,
which could result in an accident.
To operate
E00628100257
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the brake
pedal.
OG1E12E1
2. Release the brake pedal and the hill start as-
sist will maintain the braking force applied
while stopping for approximately 2 seconds.
3. Depress the accelerator pedal and the hill
start assist gradually will decrease the brak-
ing force as the vehicle starts moving.
NOTE
l
The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the engine is starting or immediate-
ly after the engine is started.)
• The gearshift lever is in any position oth-
er than "P" (PARK) or "N" (NEUTRAL).
• The vehicle is completely stationary,
with the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
l
The hill start assist will not operate if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed before the brake
pedal is released.
l
The hill start assist also operates when revers-
ing on an uphill slope.
