Low Vacuum Assist (LVA)
(if equipped)
Low Vacuum Assist (LVA) amplifies
the hydraulic brake force to assist the
driver under low or temporarily low
engine vacuum. You may hear a
motor running sound and feel a slight
vibration in the brake pedal like ABS
operating. This indicates that the
Supplemental Brake Assist system is
working to maintain braking power.
Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)
(if equipped)
The Emergency Stop Signal system
alerts the driver following your vehi-
cle, by blinking the stop lights, whilst
sharply and severely braking.
The system is activated when:
• The vehicle suddenly stops (the
deceleration power exceeds 7
m/s
2
, and the driving speed
exceeds 55 km/h).
• The ABS is activated.
The hazard warning flasher automat-
ically turns ON; after blinking the
stop lights, when driving speed is
below 40 km/h , when the ABS is
deactivated, and when a sudden
braking situation has stopped.
The hazard warning flasher turns
OFF, when the driving speed
exceeds 10 km/h after a complete
stop. 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) sys-
tem will not activate, when the hazard
warning flasher blinks.
