Electronic Stability Control (ESC) (If equipped) The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is designed to stabi-
lize the vehicle during cornering
maneuvers. ESC checks where you
are steering and where the vehicle is
actually going. ESC applies the
brakes on individual wheels and
intervenes with the engine manage-
ment system to stabilize the vehicle. The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is an electronic sys-
tem designed to help the driver main-
tain vehicle control under adverse
conditions. It is not a substitute for
safe driving practices. Factors includ-
ing speed, road conditions and driv-
er steering input can all affect
whether ESC will be effective in pre-
venting a loss of control. It is still your
responsibility to drive and corner at
reasonable speeds and to leave a
sufficient margin of safety.
When you apply your brakes under
conditions which may lock the
wheels, you may hear a “tik-tik’’
sound from the brakes, or feel a cor-
responding sensation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and it means
your ESC is active.
OKH052043
WARNING
Never drive too fast according to
the road conditions or too quick-
ly when cornering. Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) will not
prevent accidents. Excessive
speed in turns, abrupt maneu-
vers and hydroplaning on wetsurfaces can still result in seri-
ous accidents. Only a safe and
attentive driver can prevent acci-
dents by avoiding maneuvers
that cause the vehicle to lose
traction. Even with ESC
installed, always follow all the
normal precautions for driving -
including driving at safe speeds
for the conditions.

Driving your vehicle
Do not "ride" the brake pedal.Resting your foot on the brake
pedal while driving can be danger-ous because it can result in the
brakes overheating and losing their
effectiveness. It also increases the
wear of the brake components.
If a tire goes flat while you are driv- ing, apply the brakes gently and
keep the car pointed straight
ahead while you slow down. When
you are moving slowly enough for it
to be safe to do so, pull off the road
and stop in a safe place.
If your car is equipped with an automatic transmission, don't let
your car creep forward. To avoid
creeping forward, keep your foot
firmly on the brake pedal when thecar is stopped. Be cautious when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P (Park).
If your car is facing downhill, turnthe front wheels into the curb to
help keep the car from rolling. If
your car is facing uphill, turn the
front wheels away from the curb to
help keep the car from rolling. If
there is no curb or if it is required by
other conditions to keep the car
from rolling, block the wheels.
Under some conditions your park- ing brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most like-ly to happen when there is an accu-
mulation of snow or ice around or
near the rear brakes or if the brakes
are wet. If there is a risk that the
parking brake may freeze, apply it
only temporarily while you put the
shift lever in P (P ark) and block the
rear wheels so the car cannot roll.
Then release the parking brake. Do not hold the vehicle on the
upgrade with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the trans-
mission to overheat. Always use
the brake pedal or parking brake.

SMART ECO MODE.
When the driver accelerates more
frequently, the right side of the driv-
ing style gauge will fill up, and shift
to SMART NORMAL MODE.
In addition, if the rate of accelera-
tion and speed is high, drive mode
will change to SMART SPORTMODE. If the auto cruise control function is
operated or the transmission is
shifted to manual mode while
SMART MODE is on, the SMART
MODE will stop temporarily, and
the DRIVE MODE will be displayed
as OFF. The driving style gauge
light will be turned off accordingly.
