The Emergency Stop Signal system alerts the driver behind by blinking the stop lights, whilst sharply and severely braking.
The system is activated when:
The hazard warning flasher automatically turns ON after blinking the stop lights:
Information
The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) system will not activate, when the hazard warning flashers are already on.
The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. The system operates the brakes automatically for approximately 2 seconds and releases the brake after 2 seconds or when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking, always come to a complete stop and continue to depress the brake pedal. Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position, then apply the parking brake, and place the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
Hazardous driving conditions When hazardous driving elements are encountered such as water, snow, ice, mud and sand, take the following precautions: Drive cautiously and maintain a longer braking distance. Avoid abrupt braking or steering.
Park your car at the side of the road so that you can work with the Tyre Mobility Kit away from moving traffic. To be sure your vehicle will not move, even when you're on fairly level ground, always set your parking brake. Only use the Tyre Mobility Kit for sealing/ inflation passenger car tyres.
