Electronic Stability Control
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC
1
) function
helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the
vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in
the instrument panel when the
ESC system is intervening.
When the ESC has intervened
to apply the brakes, a pulsing
sound may be heard and the
vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expec-
ted when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The ESC system consists of the following sub-
functions:
•
Stability control

•
Spin control and active yaw control
•
Engine drag control
•
Trailer Stability Assist
WARNING
•
The Electronic Stability Control system
ESC is supplementary driver support
intended to facilitate driving and make it
safer – it cannot handle all situations in
all traffic, weather and road conditions.
•
ESC is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
Stability control

This function helps control the driving and brak-
ing force of each individual wheel in an attempt
to stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw control
This function is active at low speeds and brakes
the wheels that are spinning to transfer additional
power from wheels that are not spinning.
This function also helps prevent the wheels from
spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
