Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
OOS050012
Electronic Stability Control helps to
stabilize the vehicle during cornering
maneuvers.
ESC checks where you are steering and
where the vehicle is actually going. ESC
applies braking pressure to any one of
the vehicle'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.
WARNING
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions when cornering. ESC will not
prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
maneuvers, and hydroplaning on wet
surfaces can result in severe accidents.
ESC operation
When the Engine Start/Stop button is
in the ON position, ESC and the ESC
OFF indicator lights illuminate for
approximately three seconds. After both
lights go off, ESC is enabled.
When 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 ESC activates, the engine may
not respond to the accelerator as it
does under routine conditions.
If Cruise Control was in use when ESC
activates, Cruise Control automatically
disengages. Cruise Control can be
reengaged when the road conditions
allow. See “Cruise Control (CC)” 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
accelerator pedal deeply. This is to
maintain the stability and traction of
the vehicle and does not indicate a
problem.

The SMART mode may be limited in
following situations. (The OFF indicator
illuminates in those situations.)
The driver manually moves the shift
lever : It deactivates SMART mode.
The vehicle drives, as the driver
manually moves the shift lever.
Cruise Control is activated : The cruise
system may deactivate the SMART
mode. When a higher system is set
by the cruise system, it starts to
control vehicle speed and deactivates
SMART mode. (SMART mode is not
deactivated just by activating the
cruise system.)
The transmission oil temperature is either
extremely low or extremely high : The
SMART mode can be active in most of
the normal driving situations. However,
an extremely high/ low transmission oil
temperature may temporarily deactivate
the SMART mode, because the
transmission condition is out of normal
operation condition.

NOTICE
If you are still stuck after rocking the
vehicle a few times, have the vehicle
pulled out by a tow vehicle to avoid
engine overheating, possible damage to
the transmission, and tire damage. See
“Towing” section in chapter 8.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are wet.
Ideally, corners should always be taken
under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards than
driving in the daylight. Here are some
important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles, as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in areas where there may
not be any street lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare
from other drivers’ headlamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it much
more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the
headlamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your eyes
to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or on
slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra following
distance. A heavy rainfall makes
it harder to see and increases the
distance needed to stop your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control. (if
equipped)
Replace your windshield wiper blades
when they show signs of streaking or
missing areas on the windshield.
Be sure your tires have enough tread.
If your tires do not have enough tread,
making a quick stop on wet pavement
can cause a skid and possibly lead to
an accident. See “Tire replacement”
in chapter 9.
Turn on your headlamps to make it
easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large puddles
can affect your brakes. If you must go
through puddles, try to drive through
them slowly.
If you believe your brakes may be wet,
apply them lightly while driving until
normal braking operation returns.
Hydroplaning
If the road is wet enough and you are
going fast enough, your vehicle may
have little or no contact with the road
surface and actually ride on the water.
The best advice is SLOW DOWN when
the road is wet.
The risk of hydroplaning increases as
the depth of tire tread decreases, refer
to “Tire Tread” section in chapter 9.

WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using Cruise Control:
Always set the vehicle speed to the
speed limit in your region.
Keep Cruise Control off when the
function is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed. Check
that the Cruise () indicator is
off.
Cruise Control does not substitute
for proper and safe driving. It is the
responsibility of the driver to always
drive safely and should always be
aware of unexpected and sudden
situations from occurring.
Always drive cautiously to prevent
unexpected and sudden situations
from occurring. Pay attention to the
road conditions at all times.
Do not use Cruise Control when it
may be unsafe to keep the vehicle at
a constant speed:
-When driving in heavy traffic, or
when traffic conditions make it
difficult to drive at a constant
speed
-When driving on rainy, icy, or
snow-covered roads
-When driving on hilly or windy
roads
-When driving in windy areas
-When driving with limited view
(possibly due to bad weather, such
as fog, snow, rain and sandstorm)
-When gear state is N (Neutral) for
manual transmission.
Do not shift the gear to N (Neutral)
while the cruise control is activating
without clutch pedal depressed.

Smart Cruise Control is designed to
help detect the vehicle ahead and
help maintain the desired speed and
minimum distance between the vehicle
ahead.
Overtaking Acceleration Assist
While Smart Cruise Control is operating,
if the function judges that the driver is
determined to overtake the vehicle in
front, acceleration will be assisted.
Detecting senor
OOS070001N
OOS070002N
[1] : Front view camera,

The front view camera and front radar
are used as a detecting sensor to help
detect the vehicles in front.
Refer to the picture above for the
detailed location of the detecting sensor.
CAUTION
Always keep the front view camera
and front radar in good condition to
maintain optimal performance of Smart
Cruise Control.
For more details on the precautions of
the front view camera and front radar,
refer to “Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist (FCA)” section in chapter 7.
