NOTICE
Driving with wheels and tires with
different sizes may cause the ESC
system to malfunction. Before replacing
tires, make sure all four tires and wheels
are the same size. Never drive the
vehicle with different sized wheels and
tires installed.
WARNING
Don't use ESC SPORT mode or ESC OFF
while using a minispare tire or a tire
repair kit is in use!
ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be used
brie
fly to help free the vehicle if stuck in
snow or mud, by temporarily stopping
operation of the ESC, to maintain wheel
torque.
To turn ESC off while driving, press the
ESC OFF button while driving on a flat
road surface.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the transmission:
• Do not allow wheel(s) of one axle to
spin excessively while the ESC, ABS,
and parking brake warning lights
are displayed. The repairs would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do not
spin the wheel(s) excessively while
these lights are displayed.
• When operating the vehicle on
a dynamometer, make sure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF light
illuminated).
Information
Turning the ESC off does not affect ABS
or standard brake system operation.
Drive mode selection
When the ESC is on, the characteristic
of ESC varies according to which drive
mode is selected by pressing the DRIVE
MODE or N1 or N2 button on the steering
wheel.

When N1 or N2 button is set to CUSTOM
mode, you cannot turn CUSTOM mode
on by pressing either N1 or N2 button if
ESC OFF setting is saved within CUSTOM
mode. If N1 or N2 button is pressed, a
message "ESC disabled in CUSTOM 1 (or
2) mode settings. Hold the button again
to acknowledge" appears on the cluster
LCD display. To turn on CUSTOM mode
with ESC OFF setting, press and hold N1
or N2 button.
Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM)
The Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)
is a function of the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. It helps ensure the
vehicle stays stable when accelerating
or braking suddenly on wet, slippery
and rough roads where traction over the
four tires can suddenly become uneven.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM):
• ALWAYS check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead. The
VSM is not a substitute for safe
driving practices.
• Never drive too fast for the road
conditions. The VSM system will not
prevent accidents. Excessive speed
in bad weather, on slippery and
uneven roads can result in severe
accidents.

ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
Electronic Limited Slip Differential refers
to a feature equipped with a mechanism
that controls the differential functions of
the wheels.
The Electronic Limited Slip Differential
helps:
• Improve handling performance when circling at high speed.
• Improve launching performance.
• Prevent slipping on rainy or snowy roads due to dissimilar friction of the
left and right wheels.
WARNING
Never run wheels with one of them
lifted by the jack. It is extremely
dangerous for a vehicle equipped with
Electronic Limited Slip Differential.
Drive mode selection

When the Drive Mode is set
to ECO mode, the engine and
transmission control logic are
changed to maximize fuel
efficiency.
• When the ECO mode is selected, the ECO indicator will illuminate.
• If the vehicle is set to ECO mode, when the engine is turned OFF and
restarted, the Drive Mode setting will
change to NORMAL mode.
Information
Fuel efficiency depends on the driver’s
driving habit and road condition.
When ECO mode is activated:
• The acceleration response may be slightly r
educed as the accelerator
pedal is depressed moderately.
• The air conditioner performance may be limited.
• The engine noise may get louder.
The above situations are normal
conditions when ECO mode is activated,
to improve fuel efficiency. Limitation of ECO mode operation:
If the following conditions occur while
E

CO mode is operating, the system
operation is limited even though there is
no change in ECO indicator.
• When the coolant temperature is low:
The system will be limited until engine
performance becomes normal.
• When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
The system will be limited due to the
shift location.
• When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few seconds:
The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.
