* Based on Automotive News classification. †No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics
or overco me careless dr iving action s. Perfor mance is limited by a vailable trac tion, which sn ow, ice and other
conditi ons can affec t. When the ESP w arning lamp in th e speedometer f lashes, the d river needs to u se less throt tle
and adapt sp eed and drivin g behavior to pre vailing road con ditions. Alwa ys drive care fully, consist ent with
conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
