4. Start the engine.
5. Rotate the steering wheel slightly more than one-halfturn to the left.
6. Push the “ESC Off” button located in the lower switch bank below the climate control four times
within twenty seconds. The “ESC Off Indicator
Light” should turn on and turn off two times.
7. Rotate the steering wheel back to center and then an additional slightly more than one-half turn to the
right.
8. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and then back to the ON position. If the sequence was com-
pleted properly, the “ESC Off Indicator Light” will
blink several times to confirm HSA is disabled.
9. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to its previous setting.
Traction Control System (TCS)
This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each
of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the TCS
may apply brake pressure to the spinning wheel(s)
and/or reduce engine power to provide enhanced
acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS, Brake Limited Differential (BLD), functions similar to a lim-
ited slip differential and controls the wheel spin across
a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning
faster than the other, the system will apply the brake of
the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque
to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD may
remain enabled even if TCS and ESC are in a reduced
mode.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
This system enhances directional control and stability of
the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC cor-
rects for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by
applying the brake of the appropriate wheel(s) to assist
in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition.
Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle
maintain the desired path.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle
path intended by the driver and compares it to the
actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does
not match the intended path, ESC applies the brake of
the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the
oversteer or understeer condition.

Sport Mode –This mode is designed to increase
steering feedback to the driver with a slight increase in
effort and changes the transmission shift schedules for
more aggressive shifting. This driving mode is useful
while driving on twisty roads where more steering
precision is desired in spirited cornering.
Warning Messages
In the event of a system fault, the system automatically
defaults to Automode and a message will appear in
the instrument cluster display.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
BRAKE CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
Brake Control
The Brake Control system with mitigation provides the
driver with audible warnings, visual warnings (within
the instrument cluster display), and may apply a brake
jerk to warn the driver when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings and limited braking are
intended to provide the driver with enough time to
react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision. NOTE:
•
Brake Control monitors the information from the
forward looking sensors as well as the Electronic
Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of
a forward collision. When the system determines that
a forward collision is probable, the driver will be
provided with audible and visual warnings and may
provide a brake jerk warning.
• If the driver does not take action based upon these
progressive warnings, then the system will provide a
limited level of active braking to help slow the
vehicle and mitigate the potential forward collision.
If the driver reacts to the warnings by braking and
the system determines that the driver intends to
avoid the collision by braking but has not applied
sufficient brake force, the system will compensate
and provide additional brake force as required.
Vehicles With A Manual Transmission: After the end
of the intervention of automatic braking, the engine
could stall, unless the driver can depress the clutch
pedal.
Vehicles With Automatic Transmission: After the end
of the intervention of automatic braking, the transmis-
sion may remain in last gear stored: therefore the car

By changing the option toNear, the system will warn
the driver of a possible accident with the vehicle ahead
of it when the latter is a reduced distance. This setting
offers a reaction time to the driver lower than the

accident, while a more dynamic driving of the car.
The setting of the sensitivity of the system is maintained
in memory when the engine is switched off.
Brake Control Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display will read “Brake Con-
trol Limited Functionality” or “Brake Control Limited
Functionality Clean Front Windshield” momentarily,
there may be a condition that limits Brake Control
functionality. Although the vehicle is still drivable un-
der normal conditions, the active braking may not be
fully available. Once the condition that limited the
system performance is no longer present, the system
will return to its full performance state. If the problem
persists, see your authorized dealer.
Service Brake Control Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster
display displays:
• Brake Control Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault. Al-
though the vehicle is still drivable under normal con-
ditions, have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
“Wipe Front Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” Warn-
ing
The “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocked” warning will display when conditions tempo-
rarily limit system performance. This most often occurs
at times of poor visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain.
The system may also become temporarily blinded due
to obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice. In these cases,
the instrument cluster display will display “Brake Con-
trol Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked” and the
system will deactivate.
The “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocked” message can sometimes be displayed while
driving in highly reflective areas (i.e. tunnels with
reflective tiles, or ice and snow). The system will
