is a problem.
A SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL

To limit wheel spin, especially in
slippery road conditions, TCS

system can be turned off if needed.

still active, but limited to driveline
protection only. ESC is also active,
but is limited to high speed pursuit
purposes.

to turn the system back on.

Electronic Stability
Control (ESC)
Your vehicle may have an Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system
which combines antilock brake,
traction, and stability control
systems and helps the driver
maintain directional control of the
vehicle in most driving conditions.
When you first start your vehicle
and begin to drive away, the system
performs several diagnostic checks
to ensure there are no problems.
You may hear or feel the system
working. This is normal and does
not mean there is a problem with
your vehicle. The system should
initialize before the vehicle reaches
32 km/h (20 mph).
