3. PRECAUTIONS
The warning lamp flashes and warning beep sounds when the ESP is operating
When the ESP operates during vehicle movement, the ESP warning lamp on the instrument
panel flashes and beep comes on every 0.1 second. The ESP system is only a
supplementary device for comfortable driving. When the vehicle exceeds its physical limits, it
cannot be controlled.
Do not rely on the system. Keep on the safe driving.
Feeling when ESP is working
When the ESP system activates, the feeling can be different depending on vehicle driving
conditions.
For example, you will feel differently when the ESP system is activated during the ABS is
operating with the brakes applied and when the brakes are not applied on a curve.
If the ESP system operates when the brake is applied, the brake pressure will be increased on
the corresponding wheel which already has braking pressure for the ESP controls.
ARP Operation
During the ARP operation, vehicle safety (rollover prevention) takes the first priority and thus,
stronger engine control is in effect. Consequently, the vehicle speed decreases rapidly, so the
driver must take caution for the vehicle may drift away from the lane.
Noise and vibration that driver feels when ESP system is operating
The ESP system may transfer noise and vibration to the driver due to the pressure changes
caused by the motor and valve operations in a very short period of time. And, keep in mind
that the output and vehicle speed could be decreased without rpm increase due to the ASR
function that controls the engine power.

Circuit description ▶
When compared to the vehicle equipped with ABS/EBD only, the internal hydraulic circuit has a
normally-open separation valve and a shuttle valve in primary circuit and in secondary circuit.
When the vehicle brakes are not applied during engine running or when applying the non-ABS
operating brakes, the normally-open separation valve and the inlet valve are open, whereas the
normally-closed shuttle valve and the outlet valve are closed.
When the ESP system is operating, the normally-open separation valve will be closed by the
solenoid valve operation and the hydraulic circuit will be established by the shuttle valve. Then,
the inlet and outlet valves will be closed or open depending on the braking pressure RISE, HOLD
or DUMP conditions.
Flashing warning lamp and warning sound during ESP operation ▶
When the ESP operates while the vehicle is moving, the ESP warning lamp on the instrument
panel flickers and the buzzer sounds at every 0.1 second. The ESP lamp operation is to inform a
driver that the vehicle is extremely unstable.
The ESP system is just a supplementary system for the vehicle and it cannot control the vehicle
over the physical limit. Do not solely rely on the system but be advised to drive the vehicle safely.
Drive feeling during ESP operation ▶
When the ESP system activates, the driving feeling can be different depending on vehicle driving
conditions. For example, it will feel different when the ESP system is activated while the ABS is
operated by depressing the brake pedal and when the ESP system is in control without the brake
pedal depressed on the same curve.
If the ESP system operates with the brake applied, the brake pressure will be increased on the
corresponding wheel which already has braking pressure for the ESP controls. In other words, the
ESP system would make the driver feel more abruptly braked compared to the situation that the
braking pressure is applied to wheel which had no braking force.
Noise and vibration that driver senses during ESP operation ▶
The ESP system may transfer noise and vibration to a driver due to the pressure changes caused
by the motor and valve operations in a very short period of time.
Extreme cornering will trigger the ESP operation and this will make the driver sense noise and
vibration due to sudden brake application.
Also, the ESP system controls the engine power. Therefore, the driver may notice the engine
power decreases even when the accelerator pedal is depressed.

3. GENERAL WARNINGS
Do not diagnose the circuit with a circuit tester or attempt to modify any air bag components
including the steering wheel, air bag mounting area and harness.
Incorrect inspection could cause a problem with an air bag and seat belt pretensioner, and
they cannot protect occupants properly. Inspection and repair service should be done only by
a qualified technician.
An infant or a child should not be seated on the front seat alone or on an adult's lap. An infant
or a child could be severely injured by air bag deployed.
A child restraint system should be placed on the rear seat which has the 3-point type seat belt.
Never install a child restraint system on the front seat. Impact by the air bag inflation might
cause severe injury or even death.
When an occupant fastens the seat belt with unstable or inclined posture, the air bag cannot
protect the occupant properly. Moreover, the occupant may be injured by the air bag.
Do not incline toward the steering wheel while driving. If you hit the air bag before it is fully
inflated, brain or neck injury, or even death can occur.
Be careful not to strike the steering wheel, air bag mounting area, any air bag related
component (including wiring) and seat belt pretensioner. You might get severely injured by
sudden deployment of the air bag.
The air bag contains explosive materials, so handle it carefully when disposing or replacing it.
The air bag components will be very hot immediately after deployment. Do not touch them until
they cool down.
Once the air bag/seat belt pretentioner is triggered, it will not deploy again even if an additional
impact is applied to it. Once triggered air bag/seat belt pretensioner related components
cannot be reused, so they should be removed from the vehicle and the whole system should
be replaced with a new one.
Do not place any object or sticker on the air bag mounting area for correct and safe activation
of the air bag.
Do not bang the door. Otherwise, an air bag might operate erroneously.
Hold the outer rim of the steering so that the air bag can inflate without any hindrance.
Do not incline toward the steering wheel or hold the steering wheel with your hands crossed. It
will cause a problem with the air bag activation or severe injury when the air bag inflates.
Never put your hands or feet on the dash board. You can severely injured when the air bag
inflates.
It is normal that a loud noise, dust and smoke occur when the air bag and seat belt
pretensioner operate.
The gas come out of air bag/seat belt pretensioner activation is non-toxic nitrogen gas.
However, if this gas occurs irritation to your skin, eyes, nose, and so on, wash it out with clean
water. Seek medical help if symptoms develop. -

5. AIR BAG WARNING LAMP OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS
The air bag warning lamp on the instrument panel has a few operational conditions. The following
are the conditions:
When Turning the Ignition Switch to ON Position Initially ▶
The air bag unit performs a turn-on test when the ignition is turned on initially. The air bag unit
flashes the air bag warning lamp 6 times at 1 Hz interval. After that, the air bag warning lamp will
go off if no malfunction have been detected.
When the Air Bag Unit Detects Any Malfunctions in Unit ▶
When the Air Bag Unit Detects Any Intermittent Failure ▶ When it is recorded as a system failure in the air bag unit, the air bag warning lamp on the
instrument panel comes on for about 6 seconds and goes off for 1 second. Then the waning
lamp stays on.
When, due to an error from outside the system, the intermittent failure signal is received 5 times or
less, the air bag warning lamp comes on for about 6 seconds and then, goes off.
