Driving your vehicle
WARNING
The Electronic Stability Control sys-
tem is only a driving aid; use pre-
cautions for safe driving by slowing
down on curved, snowy, or icy
roads. Drive slowly and don't
attempt to accelerate whenever the
ESC indicator light is blinking, or
when the road surface is slippery.

ESC OFF usage
When driving
• ESC should be turned on for daily driv-
ing whenever possible.
• To turn ESC off while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
WARNING
Never press ESC OFF button while
ESC is operating (ESC indicator
light blinks).
If ESC is turned off while ESC is
operating, the vehicle may slip out
of control.
✽ NOTICE
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESC is
turned off (ESC OFF light illuminated).
If the ESC is left on, it may prevent the
vehicle speed from increasing, and
result in false diagnosis.
• Turning the ESC off does not affect
ABS or brake system operation.
Hill-start assist control (HAC)
(if equipped)
Hill-start Assist Control is a function for
your convenience. The main intention is
to prevent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards while driving uphill on an inclined
surface. HAC holds the braking pressure
built up by the driver while stopping for
2 seconds (double clutch transmission)
after releasing the brake pedal.
During the pressure-hold period, the
driver has enough time to depress the
accelerator pedal to drive off.
The braking pressure is reduced as soon
as the system detects the driver's inten-
tion to drive.
WARNING
The HAC is usually activated only
for 2 seconds (double clutch trans-
mission).The driver should be care-
ful not to roll backward causing an
accident with an object or person
behind.
✽ NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when the
transaxle shift lever is in the P (Park)
or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though the
ESC is off but it does not activate
when the ESC has malfunctioned.
