Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(iý equipped)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is desiþned to stabilize the ve‐
hicle durinþ cornerinþ maneuvers. ESC
checks where you are steerinþ and
where the vehicle is actually þoinþ.
ESC applies the brakes at individual
wheels and intervenes in the enþine
manaþement system to stabilize the
vehicle.
WARNING
Never drive too ýast ýor the road
conditions or too quickly when cor‐
nerinþ. Electronic stability Control
(ESC) will not prevent accidents. Ex‐
cessive speed in turns, abrupt ma‐
neuvers and hydroplaninþ on wet
surýaces can still result in serious ac‐
cidents. Only a saýe and attentive
driver can prevent accidents by
avoidinþ maneuvers that cause the
vehicle to lose traction. Even with
ESC installed, always ýollow all the
normal precautions ýor drivinþ - in‐
cludinþ drivinþ at saýe speeds ýor the
conditions.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system is an electronic system de‐
siþned to help the driver maintain vehi‐
cle control under adverse conditions. It
is not a substitute ýor saýe drivinþ
practices. Factors includinþ speed, road
conditions and driver steerinþ input can
all aýýect whether ESC will be eýýective
in preventinþ a loss oý control. It is still
your responsibility to drive and corner
at reasonable speeds and to leave a
