operates the brakes automatically for
approximately 2 seconds and releas-
es the brake when the accelerator
pedal is depressed or after 2 sec-
onds.
✽NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the shift lever is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral).
• The HAC activates even though
the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off but does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
WARNING
If ESC indicator light ( ) or
EPS warning light ( ) stays
on, your vehicle may have a

vates only for approximately 2

replacing tyres, make sure they
are the same size as your origi-
nal tyres for this vehicle.
