(a) No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and to adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Please always wear your seatbelt. (b) Children 12 and under should always be in a back seat, correctly using an infant or child restraint system appropriate for the size, age and weight of the child, or if the child is large enough to wear the vehicle’s seat belts, with the seat belt positioned correctly.
