Electronic Stability
Program (ESP)
This system uses both the Anti-Lock Braking
System (ABS) and Traction Control System
(TCS) to help stabilize the car by braking one or
several wheels independently of the driver.
Engine output is also reduced to prevent the
front wheels from spinning. ESP improves the
driver’s chances of remaining in control of the
vehicle in critical situations (severe evasive
action needed to avoid hitting an animal, driver
starts to lose control – ESP kicks in and helps
the driver steer to safety).
Note!
Drive responsibly. Do not rely on the
systems above to keep you safe. Use precau-
tions when driving on slippery roads.
(See your Owner’s Manual, section Starting
and driving).
Traction Control System
(TCS)
This system monitors the Anti-Lock Braking
System (ABS) sensors to detect when the front
(driving) wheels are rotating faster than the
rear. If so, the engine torque is reduced to elim-
inate the difference. It also monitors whether
one front wheel is rotating faster than the other
and will slow the faster wheel down until both
are rotating at the same speed.
(See your Owner’s Manual, section Starting
and driving).
