ENHANCED TORQUE VECTORING CONTROL
Enhanced torque vectoring control is comprised of two elements:
•Torque vectoring control which applies brake torque on the inner
wheel in a curve for better traction and less understeer
•Cornering understeer control which controls the yaw response of the
vehicle under braking and acceleration on high and low friction
surfaces.
Unlike electronic stability control, enhanced torque vectoring control
does not slow the vehicle but does help control excessive wheel slip and
gives the vehicle cornering agility. The system only increases
performance. Because of this, enhanced torque vectoring control is not
disabled when the AdvanceTrac® system is off.

Your ST vehicle is equipped with unique wheels matched to the tires.
These wheels are more susceptible to damage due to their diameter,
width and low profile tires. To avoid damage to your wheels:
•Maintain proper tire pressure.
•Exercise caution when using automated, commercial car washes. Hand
washing or using touchless commercial car washes without mechanical
tracks is the best way to avoid potential damage.
•When installing wheels, always torque lug nuts to specification with a
torque wrench.
•Inspect your wheels for damage on a regular basis. If a wheel is
damaged, replace it immediately.
•If you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect the outer
diameter of your wheels, both inside and out, for damage.
WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING:When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners that
attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with
the mounting surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct
metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in
motion, resulting in loss of control.

Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles
(800 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (for example, tire rotation,
changing a flat tire, wheel removal).

Your ST vehicle is equipped with low profile, high performance tires that
are designed to optimize the driving dynamics you expect in a ST
vehicle. These tires are not optimized for off-road or winter (snow or
cold weather) performance, and their ride, noise and wear characteristics
are different than non-performance tires. Also, because of their lower
profile, the tires are more susceptible to damage due to potholes and
rough roads. To make sure that your tires perform as intended, it is
important that you maintain your tires properly:
•Note:Do not use tire chains on the original wheels and tires of your
vehicle. The use of any type of tire chain on these tires may damage
your vehicle.
•Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are
listed on the tire information placard.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its
maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing
speeds.
•Extra caution should be taken when operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause tire damage.
•In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect
your tires for damage.
