Electronic Stability Control
automatically
enables Traction Control (TCS), Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC), and Roll Stability
Control™ (RSC) each time the engine
is started.
Traction Control System (TCS)
detects drive
wheel slippage and lowers engine torque to
prevent loss of traction.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
regulates
braking and engine torque in conjunction with
the ABS and TCS to help control skids or lateral
slides during sudden or evasive maneuvering.
Roll Stability Control™ (RSC)
detects when
corrective action is needed and controls engine
torque and braking on each wheel to prevent a
vehicle rollover.
Note:
Electronic Stability Control system will only
intervene if the driving situation requires it.

and handling.
