PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Electronic Stability Control
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. Failure to do so
could result in loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
Without ESC.A
With ESC.B
The system supports stability when your
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. The system performs this
by braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as required.
The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends.
Stability Control Warning Lamp
While driving, it flashes when the system
is operating. See Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 61).
USING STABILITY CONTROL
Note: The system will be switched on
automatically every time you switch the
ignition on.
The system can be deactivated using the
switch in the centre console.
Note: When the system is deactivated with
the transfer switch in 2H position, the ESC
off indicator will flash twice to indicate that
the system is completely turned off and
remains illuminated. Press the switch again
to enable the system. For item location: See
At a Glance (page 9).
Note: ESC is switched off when the transfer
switch is in 4L position or the Electronic
Locking Differential is operating.
