Emergency stop signal (ESS) (if equipped)ESS stands for Emergency Stop Signal.
ESS is a feature that gives a war ning to a following vehicle by flashing all turn signal lights
faster than usual if all the following conditions are met. Also , within these conditions, it will
flash along with your turn signal in the instrument cluster.
• When you slam down on the brakes at speeds of approximately 55 km/h (34 mph) or
over.
• When the ABS is activated or when you suddenly brake similar to activating the ABS.
74P40170
The ESS will stop functioning in the following situations:
• When the vehicle speed decreases enough
• When you release the brake
• When the ABS is no longer activated
• When you turn on the hazard warning switchEXAMPLE
NOTE:
• The ESS feature cannot be deactivated.
• Use of the hazard warning switch should
be given preference over the ESS.
• When driving on the following surfaces and the ABS gives out momentarily, the
ESS may not function.
– When driving on slippery surfaces
– When driving over bumps on the road
such as highway joint seams
WA R N I N G
Although the ESS is designed to
reduce the number of rear-end
crashes that occur from sudden brak-
ing, by warning a following vehicle, it
cannot prevent all crashes. Always
make an effort to drive safely and
avoid unnecessary sudden braking
when stopping or decelerating.

Grip control system (if equipped)When one side of the tires is slipping on
slippery road surfaces such as a snow-cov-
ered road and it is difficult to start the vehi-
cle, the grip control system controls the
driving force and brake force through the
ESP
® system, and assists you in smooth
starting.
In such cases as when both of the tires are
slipping, the system may also assist start-
ing.
NOTE:
• When both of the tires are slipping, thegrip control system may work, however,
it works especially effective when one
side of the tires is slipping.
• You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the grip
control system is in the self-check mode.
This sound does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
• When the grip control system is working with high engine revolutions, you may
feel changing the engine speed or vehi-
cle pulsating. This is normal. Grip control switch

Running-in
Catalytic converter
80G106
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
minimize the amount of harmful pollutants
in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded
fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic
converters is prohibited, because lead
deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-
nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of
the vehicle under normal usage and when
unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-
nance is required on the converter. How-
ever, it is very important to keep the engine
properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can
result from an improperly tuned engine,
may cause overheating of the catalytic
converter. This may result in permanent
WA R N I N G
• Fasten your seat belts at all times.Even though air bags are equipped
at the front seating positions, the
driver and all passengers should
be properly restrained at all times,
using the seat belts provided. Refer
to “Seat belts and child restraint
systems” section for instructions
on proper use of the seat belts.
• Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol and
drugs can seriously impair your
ability to drive safely, greatly
increasing the risk of injury to
yourself and others. You should
also avoid driving when you are
tired, sick, irritated or under stress.
NOTICE
The future performance and reliabil-
ity of the engine depends on the care
and restraint exercised during its
early life. It is especially important to
observe the following precautions
during the first 960 km (600 miles) of
vehicle operation.
•After starting, do not race theengine. Warm it up gradually.
• Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts
will break in better if you vary your
speed.
• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts.
• Avoid hard braking, especially during the first 320 km (200 miles)
of driving.
• Do not drive slowly with the trans- axle in a high gear.
• Drive the vehicle at moderate
engine speeds.
• Do not tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle oper-
ation.
