Information
When you jump start your vehicle because
of a drained battery, the ABS (
)
warning light may turn on at the same
time. This happens because of the low
battery voltage. It does not mean your
ABS is malfunctioning. Have the battery
recharged before driving the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
OJWEV061035
Electronic Stability Control helps to
stabilize the vehicle during cornering
maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC
applies braking pressure to any one of
the vehicle's brakes and intervenes in the
electric vehicle control system to assist
the driver with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Always adjust your
speed and driving to the road conditions.
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions when cornering. ESC will not
prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning on wet
surfaces can result in severe accidents.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the Start/Stop button is in the ON
position, ESC and the ESC OFF indicator
lights illuminate for approximately three
seconds. After both lights go off, ESC is
enabled.
When operating
When ESC is in operation, the
ESC indicator light blinks:
śWhen 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.
śWhen ESC activates, the vehicle may
not respond to the accelerator as it
does under routine conditions.
śIf Smart Cruise Control (SCC) was
in use when ESC activates, Smart
Cruise Control (SCC) automatically
disengages. Smart Cruise Control
(SCC) can be reengaged when the
road conditions allow. See “Smart
Cruise Control (SCC)” section in
chapter 7 (if equipped).
