Driving your vehicle

Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)

(if equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking
the stop lights, while sharply and
severely braking.
The system is activated when:
• The vehicle suddenly stops. (The
deceleration power exceeds 7 m/s
and the driving speed exceeds 55
km/h (34 mph).)
• The ABS is activated.
The hazard warning flasher automat-
ically turns ON after blinking the stop
lights, when the driving speed is
under 40 km/h (25 mph) and ABS is
deactivated or the sudden braking
situation is over.
The hazard warning flasher turns
OFF, when the driving speed exceeds
10 km/h (6 mph) after a complete
stop. The hazard warning flasher
turns OFF, 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.

Good braking practices

WARNING
Whenever leaving the vehicle or
parking, always come to a com-
plete stop and continue to
depress the brake pedal. Move
the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, then apply the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
Vehicles parked with the park-
ing brake not applied or not
fully engaged may roll inadver-
tently and may cause injury to
the driver and others. ALWAYS
apply the parking brake before
exiting the vehicle.
Wet brakes can be dangerous! The
brakes may get wet if the vehicle is
driven through standing water or if it
is washed.
