• Do not hold the vehicle on the upgrade

cause the transaxle to overheat.
Always use the brake pedal or parking
brake.
ESS : Emergency Stop Signal
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking the
stop light when the vehicle suddenly
stops or when the ABS activates in a
stop. (The system activates when the
vehicle speed is over 34mph (55km/h)
and the vehicle deceleration is over
7m/s² or the ABS activates when the
vehicle emergency braking.)
When the vehicle speed is under 25mph
(40 km/h) and the ABS deactivates or the
sudden stop situation is over, the stop
light will turn off. Instead the hazard
warning flasher will turn on automatically.
The hazard warning flasher will turn off
when the vehicle speed is over 6mph
(10km/h) after the vehicle has stopped.
Also, it will turn off when the vehicle
drives at low speed for some time. You
can turn it off manually by pushing the
hazard warning flasher switch.
CAUTION
The Emergency Stop Signal system
will not work if the hazard warning
flasher is already on.
