Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)

Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) alerts the driver behind by flashing the brake lights when braking sharply and severely.

Operating condition(s)

ESS is activated when:

  • The vehicle suddenly stops (vehicle speed is over 34 mph (55 km/h) and the vehicle deceleration at greater than 7 m/s2.

  • ABS is activated

    When the vehicle is under 25 mph (40 km/h ) and the ABS is deactivated or the sudden stop situation is over, the stop lamps will stop to blink. Instead, the hazard warning flasher will turn on automatically.

    The hazard warning flasher will turn off when the vehicle is over 6 mph (10 km/h ) after the vehicle has stopped. Also, it will turn off when the vehicle is driven at low speed for some time. Hazard warning flasher can be turned off manually by pushing the hazard warning flasher switch.

NOTE

ESS will not activate when the hazard warning flashers are already on.
