ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) SYSTEM
Electronic Stability Control automatically
enables Traction Control (TCS), Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC), and Roll Stability Control (RSC®)
each time the engine is started.
Traction Control System (TCS) detects drive
wheel slippage and lowers engine torque to
prevent loss of traction.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) uses the sensors of
the vehicle’s ESC system to detect and attempt
to mitigate trailer sway by applying brake force at
individual wheels and, if necessary, by reducing
engine power.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) regulates braking and engine torque
in conjunction with the ABS and TCS to help control skids or lateral slides
during sudden or evasive maneuvering.
Roll Stability Control (RSC®) detects when corrective action is needed and
controls engine torque and braking on each wheel to prevent a vehicle rollover.
NOTE:Electronic Stabilit y Control system will only intervene if the driving situation
requires it.
See “Driver’s View P. 6”
for button location.
