been detected somewhere in the
EPS (Electronic Power Steering)
system or VSM system. If the ESC

✽✽NOTICE
The VSM is designed to function above approximately 15 km/h (9
mph) on curves.
The VSM is designed to function above approximately 30 km/h (18
mph) when a vehicle is braking on
a split-mu road. The split-mu road
is made of surfaces which have dif-
ferent friction forces.
Hill-start assist control (HAC) (if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to slip
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from slipping back by operat-
ing the brakes automatically for
about 2 seconds. The brakes are
released when the accelerator pedalis depressed or after about 2 sec-
onds.WARNING
The Vehicle Stability Management system is not a
substitute for safe driving
practices but a supplemen-
tary function only. It is theresponsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. Always hold the steer-
ing wheel firmly while driving.
Your vehicle is designed to activate according to the dri-
ver’s intention, even with the
VSM installed. Always follow
all the normal precautions for
driving at safe speeds for the
conditions – including driving
in inclement weather and on a
slippery road.
Driving with varying tire or wheel sizes may cause theVSM system to malfunction.
When replacing tires, make
sure they are the same size as
your original tires.
