ESP OFF usage
When driving
• ESP should be turned on for daily driv-
ing whenever possible.
• To turn ESP off while driving, press the
ESP OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
WARNING
Never press the ESP OFF button
while ESP is operating (ESP indica-
tor light blinks).
If ESP is turned off while ESP is
operating, the vehicle may slip out
of control.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the ESP is
turned off (ESP OFF light illuminat-
ed). If the ESP is left on, it may pre-
vent the vehicle speed from increas-
ing, and result in false diagnosis.
• Turning the ESP off does not affect
ABS or brake system operation.

Good braking practices
WARNING
• Whenever you leave or park your
vehicle, always set the parking
brake as far as possible and fully
engage the vehicle's transaxle
into the P (Park) position. If the
parking
brake
is
not
engaged, the vehicle may move
inadvertently and injure yourself
and others.
• All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadver-
tent movement of the vehicle
which can injure occupants or
pedestrians.
• After being parked, check to be sure
the parking brake is not engaged and
that the parking brake indicator light is
out before driving away.
• Driving through water may get the
brakes wet. They can also get wet
when the vehicle is washed. Wet
brakes can be dangerous! Your vehicle
will not stop as quickly if the brakes are
wet. Wet brakes may cause the vehicle
to pull to one side.
