Hyundai Kona: Disc brakes wear indicator / Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)

The Emergency Stop Signal system alerts the driver behind by blinking the stop lights, while sharply and severely braking.

The system is activated when:

• The vehicle suddenly stops. (The deceleration power exceeds 7 m/s2, and the driving speed exceeds 55 km/h (34 mph).)
• The ABS is activated and the driving speed exceeds 55 km/h (34 mph).

The hazard warning flasher automatically turns ON after blinking the stop lights:

• When the driving speed is under 40 km/h (25 mph),
• When the ABS is deactivated, and
• When the sudden braking situation is over.

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) system will not activate, when the hazard warning flashers are already on.
