Driving your vehicle
The  Electronic   Stability  Control  (ESC)
system is an  electronic system designed
to help the driver maintain vehicle control
under  adverse   conditions.  It   is  not  a
substitute   for   safe   driving   practices.
Factors including  speed, road conditions
and  driver  steering  input  can  all  affect
in
preventing a loss of  control. It is still your
responsibility   to   drive  and   corner   at
reasonable   speeds    and   to   leave   a
sufficient margin of safety.
When you apply  your brakes under con-
ditions which  may  lock the  wheels, you
may  hear   a   “tik-tik’’  sound   from   the
brakes, or feel a corresponding sensation
in the  brake pedal. This is normal  and it
means your ESC is active.
WARNING
Never  drive  too  fast  for  the  road
conditions or too quickly when cor-
nering.   Electronic stability  control
(ESC)  will   not  prevent  accidents.
Excessive  speed  in   turns,  abrupt
maneuvers   and  hydroplaning   on
wet surfaces can  still result in seri-
ous  accidents.   Only   a  safe   and
attentive  driver  can   prevent  acci-
dents  by avoiding  maneuvers  that
cause  the vehicle  to  lose traction.
Even with ESC installed, always fol-
low  all the  normal  precautions for
driving  -  including  driving  at safe
speeds for the conditions.

system to stabilize the vehicle.

Control System is functioning properly.
