seconds, so when the vehicle is
starting off always depress the ac‐
celerator pedal.
NOTICE
• The
HAC does not operate when

tioned.
Emergency stop signal (ESS)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts
the driver behind by blinking the
stop light when the vehicle is braked
rapidly and severely.
The system is activated when:
• The vehicle suddenly stops (vehicle
speed is over 55 km/h and the vehicle
deceleration at greater than 7 m/s
2
)
• The ABS is activating
When the vehicle speed is under
40 km/h and the ABS deactivates or
the sudden stop situation is over, the
stop light blinking will stop. Instead, the
hazard warning flasher will turn on au‐
tomatically.
The hazard warning flasher will turn off
when vehicle speed is over 10 km/h af‐
ter the vehicle has stopped. Also, it will
turn off when the vehicle is driven at
low speed for some time. You can turn
it off manually by pushing the hazard
warning flasher switch.
CAUTION
