Electronic stability control (ESC)

Electronic stability control (ESC) may enhance your vehicle’s directional

stability during adverse maneuvers, for example when cornering severely

or avoiding objects in the roadway. ESC operates by applying brakes to

one or more of the wheels individually and, if necessary, reducing engine

power if the system detects that the vehicle is about to skid or slide

laterally.

During ESC events, the stability control light in the instrument cluster

will flash.

Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate the ESC system, which

include but are not limited to:

• Taking a turn too fast

• Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle

• Driving over a patch of ice or other slippery surfaces

• Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road

• Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice

versa

• Entering a paved road from a gravel road, or vice versa

Switching off AdvanceTrac威

If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine

power, switching off certain features of the AdvanceTrac威 system may be

beneficial because the wheels are allowed to spin. This will restore full

engine power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle.

To switch off the AdvanceTrac威 system, select traction control off

through the vehicle setting menu in the multi-function display. Full

features of the AdvanceTrac威 system can be restored by selecting TCS

again or by turning off and restarting the engine.

If you switch off the AdvanceTrac威 system, the traction control system

will be de-selected in the multi-function display and the stability control

off light will illuminate steadily. Selecting the AdvanceTrac威 system again

will turn off the stability control off light.
