Stability Control (If Equipped)
Stability Control Warning Lamp
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Electronic Stability Control
Flashes during operation. See
Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 89).
WARNING: The system is
designed to aid the driver. It is not
intended to replace your attention and
judgment. You are still responsible to
drive with due care and attention.
USING STABILITY CONTROL
The system automatically activates when
you start your vehicle. The system cannot
be completely turned off, but the
electronic stability control system is
disabled when the transmission selector
lever is in position R. You can turn off the
traction control portion of the system
independently. See Using Traction
Control (page 160).
The system supports stability when your
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. The system does this by
braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque.
The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This helps to pull away on
slippery roads or loose surfaces, and
improves comfort by limiting wheel spin in
hairpin bends.
