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.

disengages. Smart Cruise Control

road conditions allow. Refer to the
“Smart Cruise Control (SCC)” section
in chapter 7 (if equipped).

ś State 2
Press and hold the ESC OFF button
continuously for more than 3 seconds.
The ESC OFF indicator light and/or
