5. Driving Directions
Warning
You must adjust your vehicle speed according
to the weather, road and traffic conditions. To avoid
traffic accident, don't
take a risk to drive your
vehicle just depending on additional safety
functions provided by the systems.
•
Remember: ESP cannot go beyond the
physical limit of road adhesion. Be sure to
drive on slippery road or drive while towing a
trailer with extra care.
•
The driver must adjust the driving mode
according to the road and traffic conditions.
•
ESP cannot reduce the risk of accidents
caused by improper driving such as excessive
high driving speed or too close distance to the
front vehicle.
• Improper opera
tion or modification (such as
modification of parts of braking system, or
wheels and tires) may affect the functions of
ABS, EBD and ESP.
The ESP will work only when the engine is
running. The ESP function can be released under
special conditions. For example:
– The vehicle is running with tire chain.
– The vehicle is running on deep snowy or
spongy road.
– The vehicle gets stuck in muddy road or other
roads, and needs to be moved back and forth.
In the absence of such conditions, the ESP
should be activated for driving safety.
