Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) (if
equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking the
stop lights, while sharply and severely
braking.
The system is activated when:
• The vehicle suddenly stops. (The
deceleration power exceeds 7 m/
s2, and the driving speed exceeds 55
km/h (34 mph).)
• The ABS is activated and the driving
speed exceeds 55 km/h (34 mph).
The hazard warning flasher automatically
turns ON after blinking the stop lights:
• When the driving speed is under 40
km/h (25 mph),
• When the ABS is deactivated, and
• When the sudden braking situation is
over.
The hazard warning flasher turns OFF:
• When the vehicle drives at a low
speed for a certain period of time.
The driver can manually turn OFF the
hazard warning flasher by pressing the
button.
Information
The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) system
will not activate, when the hazard warning
flashers are already on.
Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
(if equipped)

The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
supports the driver come down a steep
hill without depressing the brake pedal.
It slows down the vehicle under 8 km/h
(5 mph) (for dual clutch transmission

making sharp curves.
NOTICE
• The DBC defaults to the OFF position
whenever the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
• Noise or vibration may occur
from the brakes when the DBC is
activated.
• The rear stop light comes on when
DBC is activated.
