SAFETY
WARNING! (Continued)
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and using a seat belt properly. Occupants,
including the driver, should always wear
their seat belts, whether or not their seating
position is equipped with an air bag, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash.
All occupants, including the driver, should
not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle's
seat if the head restraints are not in place
and in their proper position, in order to mini-
mize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash.
Head restraints should never be adjusted
while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly
adjusted or removed could cause serious
injury or death in the event of a collision.

The following ESC operating modes are
available; see Ú page 60 for additional
information.
TRACK: Provides optimized performance with
the least amount of stability control.
SPORT: Provides balanced traction and
stability control.
STREET: Provides full traction control and full
stability control.
WARNING!
(ESC)
In the ESC "Drag" mode, the engine torque
reduction and stability features are
disabled. Therefore, enhanced vehicle
stability offered by the ESC system is
unavailable. In an emergency evasive
maneuver, the ESC system will not engage
to assist in maintaining stability. ESC "Full
Off" mode is intended for off-highway or
off-road use only.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it
increase the traction afforded by prevailing
road conditions. ESC cannot prevent all
accidents, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, driving on very
slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also
cannot prevent collisions.
