Emergency Signal System (ESS)
If sudden braking is applied, the ESS rapidly flashes all the turn signal lights to caution drivers behind your vehicle of the sudden braking situation. The ESS operates when sudden braking is applied while the vehicle speed is 55 km/h (34 mph) or faster.
When you bring your vehicle to a complete stop while all the turn signal lights are flashing rapidly, the rapid flashing of all the turn signal lights changes back to the normal flashing pattern. The turn signal lights turn off when you release your foot from the brake pedal.
When the ABS operates, the ESS is more likely to operate. Therefore, if the brakes are applied on a slippery road, the ESS may operate.
