134 Driving and operation
will be enabled again. If the
pressed time of ESC switch
exceeds 10s, the ESC system will
consider it as one incorrect
operation (for example, the switch
is pressed by one unknown article
incautiously), the ESC function
will not be disabled.
4. The ESC system will be activated
automatically
after every re-
ignition.
Note
The ESC system may not be
able to help you escape from
out-of-control in the ultimate
state for sure. Therefore, take
care during daily driving. You
had better disable the ESC
system
when crossing
country on a sandy and rocky
pavement. As it is time for the
ESC system to function on an
icy, snowy and slippery
pavement, the ESC system
shall not be disabled.
ESC OFF Switch
Press the ESC OFF switch after starting
the vehicle, and the ESC OFF lamp on
the instrument cluster illuminates and
some ESC functions are disabled. Press
the ESC switch again, the ESC function
is enabled again and the ESC OFF lamp
on the instrument cluster goes out.
Normally, it is not recommended to
disable the ESC system. The system
should be disabled temporarily only
when the vehicle gets out of the mire or
the vehicle climbs on a snowfield, etc.
Hill-start Hold Control (HHC)
System
The ESC system has the HHC
function. The function can help the
vehicle to start easily on a slope
without using the parking brake.
Whether the driver is driving or
reversing onto a hill, the start assistant
is provided through the function.
Therefore,
engage gear before
starting, please.
When the hill-start hold control
functions, after the brake pedal is
released, the vehicle still keeps the
braking force for 1-2s. In this case, the
vehicle will not slide backwards.
In 2s, if the driving force applied by the
driver is greater than the resistance
which the vehicle is subject to when
running onto a hill, the system will
gradually reduce the braking force
and the vehicle starts running
smoothly. If the vehicle fails to start
running in 2s, or the driving force
applied by the driver is insufficient, the
pressure of the brake system is
released automatically and the vehicle
