engine coolant, brake fluid, and
washer fluid should be checked on a
regular basis, at exact intervals.
Further details are provided in the
chapter 7, "Maintenance".

Driving your vehicle05
Careless driving may result in a
loss of vehicle control, possibly
leading to an accident, severe
personal injury, and death. The
driver’s primary responsibility
is to drive in the safe and legal
manner. The use of any hand-
held devices, other equipment,
or vehicle systems, which take
the driver’s eyes, attention and
focus away from the safe opera-
tion of a vehicle or which are
not permissible by law, should
never be used in driving.
WARNINGAll passengers must be proper-
ly belted whenever the vehicle
is moving. Refer to "Seat belts"
in chapter 2 for more informa-
tion on the proper usage.
WARNING
Always take a look around your
vehicle for any passers-by,
especially children, before
changing the shift lever to D
(Drive) or R (Reverse).
WARNING

Driving with tires or wheels in var-
ious sizes may cause the ESC
system to malfunction. When
replacing tires, make sure they are
the same size as others. Never
drive the vehicle, which is
installed with the tires of different
diameters.
ESC OFF usage
When driving
ESC should be turned ON for dailydriving whenever possible.
To turn ESC OFF while driving, press the ESC OFF button while
driving on a flat road. Even if you turn OFF the ESC by
pressing the button, the ESC func-
tion may be operated. It is normal
condition for safety driving.
Information
• When driving the vehicle on a
dynamometer, make sure that the
ESC is turned OFF (ESC OFF indi-
cator illuminates with an alarm) by
pressing the button for 3 seconds.
When the ESC is left ON, it may
prevent the vehicle from increasing
the driving speed, resulting in false
diagnosis.
• Turning the ESC OFF does not affect the operation of ABS or brake
systems.
