Electronic Stability ControlThe Electronic Stability Control (ESC 2
) function
helps the driver avoid skidding and improves the vehicle's directional stability.
This symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel when theESC system is intervening. When the ESC has intervened to apply the brakes, a pulsingsound may be heard and the
vehicle may accelerate more slowly than expec-ted when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
The ESC system consists of the following sub- functions: • Stability control 3
• Spin control and active yaw control
• Engine drag control
WARNING
• The Electronic Stability Control system ESC is supplementary driver supportintended to facilitate driving and make itsafer – it cannot handle all situations inall traffic, weather and road conditions.
• ESC is not a substitute for the driver'sattention and judgment. The driver isalways responsible for ensuring the vehi-cle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
Stability control 3This function helps control the driving and brak-ing force of each individual wheel in an attemptto stabilize the vehicle.
Spin control and active yaw controlThis function is active at low speeds and brakesthe wheels that are spinning to transfer additionalpower from wheels that are not spinning. This function also helps prevent the wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC
4
) helps prevent inad-
vertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting orusing engine braking when driving at low speedson a slippery surface. Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
