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 the ignition is turned
ON,  ESC  and  ESC  OFF
indicator  lights   illuminate
for  approximately   3  sec-
onds, then  ESC is  turned

vehicle.

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.
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.
