NOTICE
• When operating the vehicle on a
dynamometer, ensure that the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light il‐
luminated).
• Turning the ESC off does not af‐
fect ABS or brake system opera‐
tion.
WARNING
Never press the ESC OFF button
while ESC is operating.
If the ESC is turned off while ESC is
operating, the vehicle may go out of
control.
To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving on
a flat road surface.
Hill-start assist control (HAC) (if
equipped)
Hill start Assist Control is a comfort
function. The main intend is to prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards
while driving off uphill on an inclined
surface. HAC holds the braking pressure
builtup by driver during stopping proce‐
dure for 2 seconds after releasing
brake pedal.
During the pressure-hold period, the
driver has enough time to press the ac‐
celerator pedal to drive off.
The braking pressure is reduced as
soon as the system detects the driver’s
intention to drive off.
WARNING
The HAC is usually activated only for
2 seconds. The driver should be
careful from the rolling backward
causing the accident with behind ob‐
jects or human, when the driver may
feel the unintended rolling backward
while driving off on hill due to insuf‐
ficient brake hold pressure built-up
by driver during stopping procedure.
NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though
the ESC is off but it does not acti‐
vate when the ESC has malfunc‐
tioned.
Vehicle stability management
(VSM) (if equipped)
This system provides further enhance‐
ments to vehicle stability and steering
responses when a vehicle is driving on a
slippery road or a vehicle detected
changes in coefficient of friction be‐
tween right wheels and left wheels
when braking.
VSM operation
When the VSM is in operation, ESC indi‐
cator light ( ) blinks.
When the vehicle stability management
is operating properly, you can feel a
slight pulsation in the vehicle. This is
only the effect of brake control and in‐
dicates nothing unusual.
