CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
The emergency stop signal (ESS) is a function that alerts the vehicle behind by
automatically flashing all of the turn signal lights at high frequency when your vehicle
brakes suddenly while driving at approximately 60 km/h (37 MPH) or more, to reduce
the possibility of collisions.
