Driving your vehicle
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system helps to stabilize the vehicle dur-
ing cornering maneuvers. ESC checks
where you are steering and where the
vehicle is actually going. ESC applies
braking pressure to any one of the vehi-
cle's brakes and intervenes in the engine
management system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the intended
path. It is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. Always adjust your speed and
driving to the road conditions.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC and the ESC OFF indi-
cator lights illuminate for approximately
three seconds. After both lights go off,
the ESC is enabled.
When operating
When the ESC is in operation,
the ESC indicator light blinks:
When you apply your brakes under conditions which may lock the wheels,
you may hear sounds from the brakes,
or feel a corresponding sensation in
the brake pedal. This is normal and it
means your ESC is active.
When the ESC activates, the engine may not respond to the accelerator as
it does under routine conditions.
If the Cruise Control was in use when the ESC activates, the Cruise Control
automatically disengages. The Cruise
Control can be reengaged when the
road conditions allow. See "Cruise
Control System" later in this chapter. (if
equipped)
When moving out of the mud or driving on a slippery road, the engine RPM
(revolutions per minute) may not
increase even if you press the acceler-
ator pedal deeply. This is to maintain
the stability and traction of the vehicle
and does not indicate a problem.
OAD055010N
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when cor-
nering. The ESC system will not
prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning on
wet surfaces can result in severe
accidents.

The Cruise Control system allows you to
drive at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h)
without depressing the accelerator pedal.
Information
• During normal cruise control operation,when the SET switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after
approximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.
• Before activating the cruise control function, the system will check to verify
that the brake switch is operating nor-
mally. Depress the brake pedal at least
once after turning ON the ignition or
