WARNING:
ABS or ESC will not prevent accidents
due to improper or dangerous driving
maneuvers. Even though vehicle control
is improved during emergency braking,
always maintain a safe distance between
you and objects ahead. Vehicle speeds
should always be reduced during
extreme road conditions.
The braking distance for cars equipped
with an anti-lock braking system (Elec-
tronic Stability Control System) may be
longer than for those without it in the
following road conditions.
During these conditions the vehicle
should be driven at reduced speeds:
o Rough, gravel or snow-covered
roads.
o With tire chains installed.
o On roads where the road surface is
pitted or has different surface height.
The safety features of an ABS or ESC
equipped vehicle should not be tested by
high speed driving or cornering. This
could endanger the safety of yourself or
others.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CON-
TROL (ESC) SYSTEM
C310A02NF-AAT
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is designed to stabilize the vehicle
during cornering manuevers. ESC checks
where you are steering and where the
vehicle is actually going. ESC applies the
brakes at individual wheels and intervenes
in the engine management system to sta-
bilize the vehicle.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is an electronic system designed to
help the driver maintain vehicle control
under adverse conditions. It is not a
substitute for safe driving practices. Factors
including speed, road conditions and
driver steering input can all affect whether
ESC will be effective in preventing a loss
of control. It is still your responsibility to
drive and corner at reasonable speeds
and to leave a sufficient margin of safety.

WARNING:
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when cornering.
Electronic stability control (ESC) will not
prevent accidents. Excessive speed in
turns, abrupt maneuvers and
hydroplaning on wet surfaces can still
result in serious accidents. Only a safe
and attentive driver can prevent
accidents by avoiding maneuvers that
cause the vehicle to lose traction. Even
with ESC installed, always follow all the
normal precautions for driving - including
driving at safe speeds for the conditions.
