WARNING
The effectiveness of ESC can be significantly reduced if other components and systems that
affect vehicle dynamics, including but not limited to brakes, tires, and other systems
mentioned above, are not properly maintained or functioning.
x
Always remember that vehicle alterations or modifications can affect the functioning of
the ABS, BAS, ASR, EDL, and ESC systems.
x
Changing the vehicle suspension or using an unapproved tire/wheel combination can
change the way the ABS, BAS, ASR, EDL, and ESC systems work and reduce their
effectiveness.
x
The effectiveness of ESC is also determined by the tires fitted

Tires and wheels
.
All 4 wheels must be equipped with identical tires in order for ESC and ASR to work properly.

when it is not expected.
If ABS is not working, ESC, ASR, and EDL will also not work.
You may hear noises when these systems are active.
