Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) (if
equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking the
stop lights, whilst sharply and severely
braking.
The system is activated when:
僅 The vehicle suddenly stops. (The
deceleration power exceeds 7 m/s2,
and the driving speed exceeds 55 km/
h (34 mph).)
僅 The ABS is activated and the driving
speed exceeds 55 km/h (34 mph).
The hazard warning flasher automati-
cally turns ON after blinking the stop
lights:
僅 When the driving speed is under 40
km/h (25 mph),
僅 When the ABS is deactivated, and
僅 When the sudden braking situation is
over.
The hazard warning flasher turns OFF:
僅 When the vehicle drives at a low
speed for a certain period of time.
The driver can manually turn OFF the
hazard warning flasher by pressing the
button.
NOTICE
The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) sys-
tem will not activate, when the hazard
warning flashers are already on.
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) sys-
tem
The Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) is oper-
ated as a vehicle stability control system.
The TSA is designed to stabilize the vehi-
cle and trailer when the trailer sways or
oscillates. There are various factors that
make the vehicle sway or oscillate.
Such incidents mostly happen at high
speed, but, there is also a risk of swaying
when the trailer is affected by cross-
winds, buffeting or improper overload-
ing.
Factors of swaying such as:
僅 High speed
僅 Strong crosswinds
僅 Improper overloading
僅 Sudden controlling of steering wheel
僅 Uneven road
The TSA continuously analyzes the vehi-
cle and trailer instability. When the
Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) detects
sway, the brakes are applied automati-
cally on the wheels and the engine
power is properly reduced to stabilize
the vehicle. When the vehicle becomes
stable, the TSA does not operate.
Brake Assistant System (BAS)
The Brake Assistant System provides
additional pressure when the brake
pedal is momentarily and strongly
depressed in a situation sudden braking
is required whilst driving.
The Brake Assistant System reduces the
time for ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
control to enter and consequently
