ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is
in the ON position, the ESC
and the ESC OFF indicator
lights illuminate for approxi-
mately three seconds and goes off,
then the ESC is turned on. (After a
new ignition cycle, the ESC ON
mode is always activated (default
setting).)
You may select between the follow-
ing state of ESC:
• ESC NORMAL activated (ESC
ON)
• ESC SPORT activated (ESC
SPORT indicator illuminates)
• ESC deactivated (ESC OFF indi-
cator illuminates)
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 operates, the
engine may not respond to the
accelerator as it does under rou-
tine conditions.
• If the Cruise Control was in use
when the ESC activates, the
Cruise Control automatically disen-
gages. The Cruise Control can be
reengaged when the road condi-
tions 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 accelerator pedal
deeply. This is to maintain the sta-
bility and traction of the vehicle and
does not indicate a problem.
