The computer has a built-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine and
move the vehicle forward or in reverse at a slow
speed. When the self-test occurs, you may hear a
“clunk” noise and/or feel a pulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and is not an indication of a
malfunction.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME (ESP) OFF SWITCH
The vehicle should be driven with the Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system on for most driv-
ing conditions.
When the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the ESP
system reduces the engine output to reduce wheel
spin. The engine speed will be reduced even if the
accelerator is depressed to the floor. If maximum
engine power is needed to free a stuck vehicle, turn
the ESP system off.
To turn off the ESP system, push the ESP OFF
switch located on the lower side of the instrument
panel. The
indicator light will illuminate.
Push the ESP OFF switch again or restart the en-
gine to turn on the system.
When driving the Blind Spot Warning (BSW) sys-
tem helps alert the driver of other vehicles in adja-
cent lanes.
The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system helps
alert the driver when the vehicle is travelling close to
either the left or the right of a travelling lane.
The BSW/LDW systems use the rear view monitor
camera unit
ja with automatic washer and blower.
WARNING
•
The BSW system is not a replacement for
proper driving procedure and is not designed
to prevent contact with vehicles or objects.
When driving, always use the side and rear
mirrors and turn and look in the direction you
will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes.
Never rely solely on the BSW system.
•
The LDW system is only a warning device to
help inform the driver of a potential unin-
tended lane departure. It will not steer the
