When operating
When the ESC is in opera-
tion, 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 activates, the
engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under rou-
tine 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.
• 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 sta-
bility and traction of the vehicle and
does not indicate a problem.
ESC OFF condition
To cancel ESC operation :
• State 1
Press the ESC OFF button shortly
(ESC OFF indicator light illumi-
nates). At this state, the engine con-
trol function does not operate. In
other words, the traction control
function does not operate but only
the brake control function operates.
• State 2
Press the ESC OFF button for more
than 3 seconds. ESC OFF indicator
light illuminates and ESC OFF warn-
ing chime will sound. At this state,
the engine control function and brake
control function does not operate. In
other words, the vehicle stability con-
trol function does not operate any
more.
If the ignition switch is placed to the
LOCK/OFF position when ESC is off,
ESC remains off.Upon restarting the
engine, the ESC will automatically
turn on again.
