Driving your vehicle
Electronic stability control
(ESC) (if equipped)
The   Electronic     Stability    Control
(ESC)  system is  an  electronic  sys-
tem designed to help the driver main-
tain  vehicle  control   under  adverse
conditions. It  is  not  a substitute  for
safe driving practices. Factors includ-
ing speed, road  conditions and driv-
er   steering    input   can   all   affect
whether ESC will be effective  in pre-
venting 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
conditions    which    may   lock    the
wheels,   you  may   hear   a  “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel  a cor-
responding  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
cornering.   Electronic  stability
control  (ESC)  will  not  prevent
accidents.  Excessive  speed  in
turns,  abrupt   maneuvers   and
hydroplaning  on  wet   surfaces
can  still result  in serious  acci-
dents. Only a safe and attentive
driver can prevent accidents  by
avoiding maneuvers  that cause
the   vehicle   to  lose   traction.
Even with ESC installed, always
follow  all   the  normal   precau-
tions for driving - including driv-
ing at safe speeds for the condi-
tions.

The   Electronic     Stability    Control
(ESC)  system is  designed  to stabi-
lize   the  vehicle   during   cornering
maneuvers.
ESC checks where  you are steering
and  where   the  vehicle  is   actually
going.
NOTICE
A click  sound may  be  heard in  the
engine compartment when  the vehi-
cle begins to move after the engine is
started. These conditions are normal
and   indicate   that   the  Electronic
Stability  Control  (ESC)   System  is
functioning properly.
ESC applies the brakes  at individual
wheels  and  intervenes  with engine
management system to  stabilize the
vehicle.
