The ESC system is an electronic
system to help the driver maintain
vehicle control in adverse conditions.
It is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. Various factors, including
speed, road conditions and driver's
steering maneuver, affect the ESC
performance in preventing a loss of
control. It is still driver's responsibility
to drive and corner at a proper speed
and to keep a safe distance. When
depressing the brake under condi-
tions, which may lock the wheels,
you may hear a snapping sound and
feel like that from the brake pedal.
This is normal and indicates your
ESC actively operates.
i
Information
A clicking sound may be heard from
the engine compartment, when the
engine is started and the vehicle
begins to move. This is normal, indi-
cating that the ESC actively operates.
Driving your vehicle
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the Engine Start/Stop button
is turned ON, the ESC and the ESC
OFF indicator lights illuminate for
approximately 3 seconds and goes
off, then the ESC is turned on.
When operating
When the ESC operates,
the ESC indicator will flash.
• When the ESC properly
operates, you can feel a
slight pulsation from the
vehicle. This is because of
the brake control, and
does not indicate a prob-
lem.
• When driving out of the
mud or driving on a slip-
pery road, the engine rpm
may not be increased
even with the accelerator
deeply depressed. This is
to maintain the stability
and traction and does not
indicate a problem.
