WARNING!
The TCS cannot prevent thenatural laws of physics from act-
ing on the vehicle, nor can it in-
crease the traction afforded.
The TCS cannot prevent colli- sions, including those resulting
from excessive speed in turns, or
hydroplaning.
The capabilities of a TCS- equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or danger-
ous manner, which could jeopar-
dize the user's safety or the safety
of others.
BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM
(BAS) (for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Brake Assist System (BAS) is de-
signed to optimize the vehicle’s brak-
ing capability during emergency
braking maneuvers. The system de-
tects an emergency braking situation
by sensing the rate and amount of
brake application, and then applies
optimum pressure to the brakes. This
can help reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the ABS. Ap-
plying the brakes very quickly results
in the best BAS assistance. To receive
the benefit of the system, you must
apply continuous braking pressure
during the stopping sequence. Do not
reduce brake pedal pressure unless
braking is no longer desired. Once the
brake pedal is released, the BAS is
deactivated.
WARNING!
The BAS cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from act-
ing on the vehicle, nor can it in-
crease the traction afforded by
prevailing road conditions.
The BAS cannot prevent colli- sions, including those resulting
from excessive speed in turns,
driving on very slippery surfaces,
or hydroplaning.
The capabilities of a BAS- equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or danger-
ous manner which could jeopar-
dize the user's safety or the safety
of others.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) enhances directional control
and stability of the vehicle under vari-
ous driving conditions. ESC corrects
for over/under steering of the vehicle
by applying the brake of the appro-
priate wheel to assist in counteracting
the over/under steer condition. En-
gine 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 in-
tended path, ESC applies the brake of
the appropriate wheel to assist in
counteracting the oversteer or under-
steer condition.
Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than appropriate for
the steering wheel position.

ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light And ESC OFF
Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator
Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position. It should turn off with the
engine running. If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has
been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition
cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several kilometers at speeds greater
than 48 km/h, see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the
problem diagnosed and corrected.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction In-
dicator Light” (located in the instru-
ment cluster) starts to flash as soon as
the tires lose traction and the ESC sys-
tem becomes active. The “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction In-
dicator Light” begins to flash during
acceleration, ease up on the accelerator
and apply as little throttle as possible.
Be sure to adapt your speed and driving
to the prevailing road conditions.
NOTE:
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” and the “ESC
OFF Indicator Light” come on
momentarily each time the igni-
tion switch is turned ON.
Each time the ignition is turned
ON, the ESC system will be ON
even if it was turned off
previously.
The ESC system will make buzz- ing or clicking sounds when it is
active. This is normal; the
sounds will stop when ESC be-
comes inactive following the
maneuver that caused the ESC
activation.
The “ESC OFF Indicator
Light” indicates the Elec-
tronic Stability Control
(ESC) is off.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL
(TSC)
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to
recognize an excessively swaying
trailer and will take the appropriate
actions to attempt to stop the sway.
The system may reduce engine power
and apply the brake of the appropri-
ate wheel(s) to counteract the sway of
the trailer. TSC will become active
automatically once an excessively
swaying trailer is recognized. No
driver action is required. Note that
TSC cannot stop all trailers from
swaying. Always use caution when
towing a trailer and follow the trailer
tongue weight recommendations. Re-
fer to “Trailer Towing” in this section
for further information. When TSC is
functioning, the “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” will
flash, the engine power may be re-
duced and you may feel the brakes
being applied to individual wheels to
attempt to stop the trailer from sway-
ing. TSC is disabled when the ESC
system is in the “Partial Off” mode.
