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

WARNING
Never  drive  too  fast  according  to
the  road conditions  or too  quickly
when cornering. Electronic stability
control (ESC)  will not prevent acci-
dents.    Excessive speed  in  turns,
abrupt  maneuvers  and  hydroplan-
ing on  wet surfaces can  still result
in  serious  accidents.  Only  a  safe
and  attentive   driver   can  prevent
accidents  by  avoiding   maneuvers
that cause  the vehicle to  lose trac-
tion.     Even   with   ESC   installed,
always follow all the normal precau-
tions for  driving - including  driving
at safe speeds for the conditions.
