Inspection Procedure
Inspection Method
Drive at 10 km/h (6.25 mph), depress the accelerator pedal by 1/2 to 3/4 and keep it in that position. Under these conditions, if driving torque is controlled when the brake pedal is depressed, then the brake override system has been activated.
When carrying out the inspection, use a place where you are able to carry it out safely and also pay close attention to your surroundings.
Also, make absolutely sure that all road traffic laws, such as speed limits, are observed.
The brake override system restricts driving torque if the brake pedal is depressed when driving with the accelerator pedal depressed. If a customer reports experiencing loss of torque after the accelerator and brake pedals have both been intentionally depressed, explain to the customer that this is not a malfunction, and that the customer should avoid depressing both the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time.
Example: While operating the accelerator pedal, the customer uses their left foot to operate the brake pedal.
