NOTE:
Brake override control may not be performed depending on the relationship between accelerator opening and vehicle speed.

Items Controlled:

HINT:
- When the control is operating, hybrid system output is controlled in accordance with the brake pedal stroke.
- When the hybrid system output is reduced because the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are depressed at the same time, an indicator is displayed on the meter. (Operation of the system can be confirmed when the indicator is displayed on the meter.)

Deactivation Conditions:

Inspection Method

Drive at 10 km/h (6 mph), depress the accelerator pedal by 1/2 to 3/4 and keep it in that position. Under these conditions, if hybrid system output is controlled when the brake pedal is depressed by the left foot of the driver, it can be confirmed that the brake override system has operated.
