Hill-start assist control (HAC) (if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to slip
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from slipping back by operat-
ing the brakes automatically for
about 1~2 seconds. The brakes are
released when the accelerator pedalis depressed or after about 1~2 sec-
onds.
✽✽NOTICE
 The HAC does not operate when the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
 The HAC activates even though the ESC is off but it does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
WARNING
The Vehicle Stability Management system is not a
substitute for safe driving
practices but a supplementary
function only. It is the respon-
sibility of the driver to always
check the speed and the dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead.
Always hold the steering
wheel firmly whilst driving.
Your vehicle is designed to activate according to the dri-
ver’s intention, even with the
VSM installed. Always follow
all the normal precautions for
driving at safe speeds for the
conditions – including driving
in inclement weather and on a
slippery road.
Driving with varying tyre or wheel sizes may cause theVSM system to malfunction.
When replacing tyres, make
sure they are the same size as
your original tyres.WARNING
The HAC is activated only for
about 1~2 seconds, so when the
vehicle is starting off alwaysdepress the accelerator pedal.

Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) (if equipped) The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver behind by blinking
the stop light when the vehicle is
braked rapidly and severely.
The system is activated when:
The vehicle suddenly stops (vehi-
cle speed is over 55km/h and the
vehicle deceleration at greaterthan 7 m/s 2
)
The ABS is activating
When the vehicle speed is under 40
km/h and the ABS deactivates or the
sudden stop situation is over, the
stop light blinking will stop. Instead,
the hazard warning flasher will turn
on automatically.
The hazard warning flasher will turn
off when vehicle speed is over
10km/h after the vehicle has
stopped. Also, it will turn off when the
vehicle is driven at low speed for
some time. You can turn it off manu-
ally by pushing the hazard warning
flasher switch. Good braking practices
WARNING
Whenever you leave or park your vehicle, always set the parking brake as far as possi-
ble and fully engage the vehi-
cle's transaxle into the P
(Park) position. If the parking
brake is not fully engaged, the
vehicle may move inadver-
tently and injure yourself and
others.
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the vehicle which can injureoccupants or pedestrians.
CAUTION
The Emergency Stop Signal
(ESS) system will not work if thehazard warning flasher is already on.

1. Cruise indicator
2. Cruise set indicator
The cruise control system allows you
to program the vehicle to maintain aconstant speed without pressing the
accelerator pedal. This system is designed to function
above approximately 30 km/h (20mph). CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
If the cruise control is left on, (cruise indicator light is illu-
minated), the cruise control
can be switched on acciden-
tally. Keep the cruise controlsystem off when the cruise
control is not in use, to avoid
inadvertently setting a speed.
Use the cruise control system only when travelling on open
highways in good weather.
Do not use the cruise control when it may not be safe to
keep the vehicle at a constant
speed, for instance, driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on
slippery (rainy, icy or snow-
covered) or winding roads or
over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.
Pay particular attention to the driving conditions whenever
using the cruise control sys-tem.
Be careful when driving downhill using the cruise con-
trol system, which may
increase the vehicle speed.

CAUTION
During cruise-speed driving of a
manual transaxle vehicle, do notshift into neutral without depressing the clutch pedal,since the engine will be over-revved. If this happens, depressthe clutch pedal or release the cruise control ON-OFF switch.
