When operating

When the ESC is in operation,
ESC indicator light blinks.
• When the Electronic Stabili‐
ty Control is operating
properly, you can feel a
slight pulsation in the vehi‐
cle. This is only the effect
of brake control and indi‐
cates nothing unusual.
• When moving out of the
mud or slippery road, the
engine rpm (revolution per
minute) may not increase
even if you press the accel‐
erator pedal deeply. This is
to maintain the stability
and traction of the vehicle
and does not indicate a
problem.
