ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is
in the ON position, the ESC
and the ESC OFF indicator lights illu-
minate for approximately three sec-
onds and goes off, then the ESC is
turned on. (After a new iginition
cycle, the ESC ON mode is always
activated (default setting).)
You may select between the follow-
ing state of ESC:
• ESC NORMAL activated (ESC
ON)
• ESC SPORT activated (ESC
SPORT indicator illuminates)
• ESC deactivated (ESC OFF indi-
cator illuminates)
When operating
When the ESC is in operation, the
ESC indicator light blinks:
• When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear sounds from
the brakes, or feel a corresponding
sensation in the brake pedal. This is
normal and it means your ESC is
active.
• When the ESC operates, the
engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under routine
conditions.
• If the Cruise Control was in use
when the ESC activates, the Cruise
Control automatically disengages.
The Cruise Control can be reen-
gaged when the road conditions
allow. See "Cruise Control System"
later in this chapter. (if equipped)
• When moving out of the mud or
driving on a slippery road, the
engine rpm (revolutions per minute)
may not increase even if you press
the accelerator pedal deeply. This is
to maintain the stability and traction
of the vehicle and does not indicate
a problem.
Deactivating / Activating ESC
You may select between the follow-
ing state of ESC:
• ESC NORMAL activated
• ESC SPORT activated (ESC
SPORT indicator illuminates)
• ESC deactivated (ESC OFF indi-
cator illuminates)
