Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS will help you avoid skidding by electronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering control when braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automatically, so you do not need any special braking technique. Just push the brake pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever it senses that the wheels are locking up. You may feel the brake pedal move a little while the ABS is operating.
NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 9 km/h (6 mph). ff the ABS system is activated, you may hear a clunking noise and/or feel pulsating in the brake pedal. This is normal and indicates that the brake fluid pressure is being controlled properly. You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the above systems are in the self-check mode. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.
A WARNING
On some types of loose surfaces (such as gravel, snow-covered roads, etc.), the stopping distance required for a vehicle with ABS may be slightly greater than the one required for a comparable vehicle with a conventional brake system. With a conventional brake system, skidding tyres are able to plow the gravel or snow layer, shortening the stopping distance. ABS minimizes this resistance effect. Allow for extra stopping distance when driving on loose surfaces. On regular paved roads, some drivers may be able to obtain slightly shorter stopping distances with conventional brake systems than with ABS. In both of the above conditions, ABS will still offer the advantage of helping you maintain directional control. However, remember that ABS will not compensate for bad road or weather conditions or poor driver judgment. Use good judgment and do not drive too fast.

The ESP® has the following three systems:
Stability control system
The vehicle stability control system helps provide integrated control of systems such as anti-lock brakes, traction control, engine control, etc. This system automatically controls the brakes and engine to help prevent the vehicle from skidding when cornering on a slippery road surface or when turning the steering wheel abruptly.
Traction control system
The traction control system automatically helps prevent the spinning of wheels when the vehicle is started or accelerated on slippery road surfaces. The system operates only if it senses that some of the wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system operates the front or rear brakes and reduces engine power to l1m1t wheel spin.
NOTE: You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the above systems are in the self-check mode. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS will help you avoid skidding by electronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering control when braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automatically, so you do not have to use any special braking technique. Just push the brak_e pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever it senses that wheels are locking up. You may feel the brake pedal pulsate while the ABS is operating. (For more information on ABS, see "Braking" in this section.)
NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 9 km/h (6 mph).
A WARNING
The ESP® may not work properly if tyres or wheels other than those specified in the owner's manual are used. When replacing tyres or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner's manual. • The ESP® may not work properly if ·tyres are not inflated to the recom

Hill descent control system
The hill descent control system is designed to reduce the driver's workload when going down steep, rough and/or slippery hills where the vehicle cannot decelerate enough by engine braking alone. The hill descent control system helps to control vehicle speed by automatically engaging the vehicle's brakes, as needed, so you can concentrate on steering the vehicle.
.A. WARNING
Do not rely excessively on the hill descent control system. The hill descent control system may not control the vehicle speed on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepa!ed to control vehicle speed by applying the brakes. Failure to pay attention and control vehicle speed using the brakes when necessary may result in loss of control or an accident.

To activate the hill descent control system: 1) Shift the transfer lever into 4-wheel drive hiQh range position ("4H") or 4-wh!"el drive low '.ange position ("4L"). 2) Shift the gearsh1ft lever into a forward gear or reverse gear. 3) Push the hill descent control switch (1) when the vehicle speed is under 25 km/h (15 mph). The hill descent control indicator on the instrument cluster will come on and the hill descent control system will be activated.
4-wheel drive high range position When the vehicle speed exceeds about 1 o km/h (6 mph) without depressing the accelerator pedal, the hill descent control system applies the brakes automatically to maintain the vehicle speed at about 1 O km/ h (6 mph).
4-wheel drive low range position When the vehicle speed exceeds about 5 km/h (3 mph) without depressing the accelerator pedal, the hill descent control system applies the brakes automatically to maintain the vehicle speed at about 5 km/h (3 mph).
• When braking, the brake/tail lights come on and the ESP® warning light blinks. When the vehicle speed exceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph), the hill descent control system stops functioning and the hill descent control indicator goes off. When the vehicle slows down below about 25 km/h (16 mph), the hill descent control system will be activated again and the hill descent control indicator will come on.
A WARNING
(Continued) After you release your foot from the brake pedal, accelerate the vehicle to move up immediately. If you release your foot from the brake pedal over 2 seconds, the hill hold control system will be canceled. If so, the vehicle may roll downward, which can result in an accident depending on the degree of slope. And, the engine may stall and the power assist for the steering and brakes will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usual which can result in an accident or vehicle damage. If you drive on the steep slope, the gravel, the sclnow-covered road, or the muddy r I'd and the hill hold control system is activated, there may be a possibility that the wheels will be locked and then the vehicle may lose the control.
The hill hold control system activates for a maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is moved from the brake pedal when the following conditions are all met.
1) The gearshift lever is in a forward gear or reverse gear. 2) The parking brake is released. 3) The vehicle is on an upward incline.
NOTE: When the hill hold control system is activated, the following conditions may be found, but this is not a malfunction. You may hear a sound from the engine room. As brake pedal becomes heavy, it may be difficult for you to depress it.
