The engine traction control and brake traction control systems may be

deactivated in certain situations. See the Switching off AdvanceTrac威

section below.

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 ESC, 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 traction control

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 turn off the traction control

system, press the stability control

switch. Full features of the

AdvanceTrac威 system can be

restored by pressing the switch again or by turning off and restarting the

engine.

When the traction control system is

off, the stability control off light will

illuminate steadily. Pressing the

stability control switch again will

turn off the stability control off

light.
