5-52 Starting and driving
. The brake engagement by the BCI
system is not as effective on a slope as
it is on flat ground. When on a steep
slope the system may not function
properly.
. Do not use the BCI systems under the
following conditions because the system
may not function properly.
— When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (for
example, tire wear, low tire pressure,
installation of spare tire, tire chains,
non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
— When towing a trailer.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound, and
it may not be heard.
