Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) (if equipped)
ESS is a feature that gives a warning to a following vehicle by flashing all turn signal lights
faster than usual if all the following conditions are met. Also, within these conditions, it will
flash along with your turn signal in the instrument cluster.
• When you slam down on the brakes at speeds of approximately 55 km/h (34 mph) or
over
• When the ABS is activated or when you apply sudden brake, which is similar conditions
for activating the ABS
The ESS will stop functioning in the following situations:
• When the vehicle is no longer rapidly decelerating
• When you release the brake
• When the ABS is no longer activated
• When you turn on the hazard warning switch
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
Although the ESS is designed to
reduce the number of rear-end colli-
sions that occur from sudden brak-
ing, by warning a following vehicle, it
cannot prevent all collisions. Always
make an effort to drive safely and
avoid unnecessary sudden braking
when stopping or decelerating.
NOTE:
• The ESS functions cannot be deacti-
vated.
• Use of the hazard warning switch should
be given preference over the ESS.
• When driving on the following surfaces
and the ABS gives out momentarily, the
ESS may not function.
– When driving on slippery surfaces
– When driving over bumps on the roads
such as joint seams
