(EsC).

An advanced system designed to
assist drivers in maintaining control of their
vehicle at all times. it utilizes hydraulic brake
Assist, traction control, Electronic Roll
mitigation (ERm), and available trailer sway
Control (tsC) to constantly monitor driver
input against the vehicle’s actual course. if
needed, EsC automatically brakes and/or
reduces engine torque. meanwhile, ERm
estimates the potential for wheel lift, reducing
engine power and applying brakes if needed.
tsC, packaged with the trailer tow Group,
detects “sway” unique to trailering and engages
the brakes to slow the vehicle and increases
brake force to one side of the vehicle to help
counteract the sway from the trailer. EsC has
three modes: full-on, partial-on which shuts
off traction control, and full-off which is ideal
for off-road driving.

hsA works to prevent Wrangler from
rolling when starting on an up- or downhill
gradient. it holds the vehicle stationary for
two seconds after the driver’s foot is
removed from the brake pedal, allowing
time to apply the throttle. hdC is packaged
with the available 5-speed automatic
transmission and diligently works to help
Wrangler navigate steep declines at a steady
and consistent speed.
