䳜 Vehicle Stability Management is
not a substitute for safe driving
practices but a supplementary
function only. It is the responsibil

ity of the driver to always check
the speed and the distance to the
vehicle ahead. Always hold the
steering wheel firmly whilst driv
-
ing.
䳜 Your vehicle is designed to acti
-
vate according to the driver䳓s
intention, even with installed VSM.
Always follow all the normal pre
-
cautions for driving at safe
speeds for the conditions 䳍
including driving inclement
weather and on a slippery road.
䳜 Driving with varying tyre or wheel
sizes may cause VSM to malfunc

tion. 8hen replacing tyres, make
sure they are the same size as
your original tyres.
ESS : Emergency Stop Signal (if
equipped)
Emergency Stop Signal alerts the
driver behind by blinking the stop
light when the vehicle suddenly
stops or when ABS activates in a
stop. (The system activates when
the vehicle speed is over km/h
and the vehicle deceleration is over
7m/s or ABS activates when the
vehicle emergency braking.)
8hen the vehicle speed is under 40
km/h and ABS deactivates or the
sudden stop situation is over, the
stop light blinking will stop.
Emergency Stop Signal will not work
if the hazard warning flasher is
already on.
Good braking practices
䳜 8henever leaving vehicle or park
-
ing, always set the parking brake
as far as possible and fully engage
the vehicle's transmission into the
park position. Vehicles not fully
engaged in park with the parking
brake set are at risk for moving
inadvertently and injuring your
-
self or others.
䳜 All vehicles should always have
the parking brake fully engaged
when parking to avoid inadvertent
movement of the car which can
injure occupants or pedestrians.
䳜 After parking the vehicle, check to
be sure the parking brake is not
engaged and that the parking
brake indicator light is out before
driving away.
