to aid the driver. It is not intended to

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.
