Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
WARNING: The risk of an accident
increases when driving quickly especially
when cornering, in wet and slippery
conditions.
Always adapt your driving style to suit
the track and weather conditions.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC monitors driving stability and traction
between the tyres and the track surface.
ESC detects when a wheel starts to spin or the
vehicle starts to skid and stabilises the vehicle
by braking individual wheels and/or limiting
the engine power output. This also assists
when pulling away on wet or slippery track
surfaces and stabilises the vehicle when
braking.
ESC operation is indicated by a message
on the right-hand side of the instrument
screen display.
NOTE: The ESC light is permanently
illuminated when Race or Track is
selected on the Handling Control.
WARNING: If the ESC warning light blinks
on and off, do not deactivate ESC.
Vehicle performance is restricted when a
fault is detected in the ESC system.
Adapt your driving style to suit track
conditions.
ESC cannot reduce the risk of an
accident if you drive too fast.
WARNING: ESC only functions properly if
wheels with the recommended
specification tyres are used.
WARNING: The level of ESC intervention
varies dependent on the ESC mode
selected.
Traction Control System
WARNING: The traction control system
cannot reduce the risk of an accident if
you drive too fast.
The traction control system reduces engine
torque to prevent the wheels from spinning. If
additional intervention is required to stop the
wheels from spinning, the vehicle will apply
the rear brakes individually. The traction
control system brakes individual drive wheels
to prevent them from spinning. This means
that the vehicle can accelerate on slippery
surfaces.
