conditions such as sharp cornering
or quick lane change. The ESC
function automatically works when
your vehicle is in a very unstable
condition. The ESC system does
not work under normal driving
conditions.
When the ignition is switched ON,
the ESC active & warning lamp and
ESC off indicator come on and go
off after about 4 seconds.
The ESC active & warning lamp
flashes while ESC is operating and
illuminates to indicate that there is a
malfunction in the system. If this
condition occurs, consult a repairer
as soon as possible.
See Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Indicator Light on page 5-19.
Caution
If the ESC active & warning lamp
comes on, the ESC system is
defective. Make sure to consult a
repairer as soon as possible.
Hydraulic brake assist (HBA)
function
When the ESC system recognises
any emergency situations requiring
hard braking, it automatically
delivers an extra high braking
pressure to the wheels.
Active rollover protection
(ARP) function
This function is a part of the ESC
system. When your vehicle moves
in an extremely unstable manner,
this function helps the vehicle
maintain normal stability.
Traction control system (TCS)
function
TCS prevents the driving wheels
from spinning, irrespective of the
road condition and tyre grip. As
soon as at least one driving wheel
starts to spin, the engine output is
reduced and the spinning wheel is
braked. This improves the vehicle's
directional control and driving
power, particularly on snow and ice
as well as on wet or slippery roads.
Driving and Operating
Trailer stability assist (TSA)
function
Snaking road trains are very difficult
to handle. This function detects
snaking and then reduces the trains
velocity until the oscillation stops.
The deceleration is obtained by
reducing the engine torque and
increasing the pressure in all wheel
brakes.
Hill start assist (HSA)
The system helps prevent rollback
when driving away on hill.
When depressing the accelerator
pedal after releasing the brake
pedal on hill, the brakes remain on
for approximately 2 seconds.
