come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
mode, have the light repaired as soon as possible.
Dynamic Steering Torque (DST)
DST is a feature of the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) and Electric Power Steering (EPS) modules that
provides torque at the steering wheel for certain driving
conditions in which the ESC module is detecting vehicle
instability. The torque that the steering wheel receives
is only meant to help the driver realize optimal steering
behavior in order to reach/maintain vehicle stability.
The only notification the driver receives that the feature
is active is the torque applied to the steering wheel.
NOTE:
The DST feature is only meant to help the driver realize
the correct course of action through small torques on
the steering wheel, which means the effectiveness of
the DST feature is highly dependent on the driver’s
sensitivity and overall reaction to the applied torque.
It is very important to realize that this feature will not
steer the vehicle, meaning the driver is still responsible
for steering the vehicle.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
EBD manages the distribution of the braking torque
between the front and rear axles by limiting braking
pressure to the rear axle. This is done to prevent
overslip of the rear wheels to avoid vehicle instability,
and to prevent the rear axle from entering ABS before
the front axle.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
ERM anticipates the potential for wheel lift by
monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and the
speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines that the
rate of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicle’s
speed are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift,
it then applies the appropriate brake and may also
reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel
lift will occur. ERM can only reduce the chance of
wheel lift occurring during severe or evasive driving
maneuvers; it cannot prevent wheel lift due to other
factors, such as road conditions, leaving the roadway, or
striking objects or other vehicles.
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road
conditions and driving conditions, influence the
chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM
cannot prevent all wheel lif
t or rollovers, especially
those that involve leaving the roadway or striking
objects or other vehicles. The capabilities of an
ERM-equipped vehicle must never be exploited

WARNING!
in a reckless or dangerous manner which could
jeopardize the user's safety or the safety of others.
Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) — If
Equipped
ESS will activate the hazard lights at a faster than
normal speed when heavy brake pressure is applied.
ESS will only activate when the speed is above 31
mph (50 km/h). The ESS operates independently of
other lamps, and will turn on and off automatically. This
indicates to others that the vehicle is stopping quickly.
NOTE:
● A warning light will illuminate within the instrument
cluster to inform the driver that the ESS feature has
been activated.
● When towing a trailer, ESS will also activate the rear
indicator lights of the trailer.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
ESC enhances directional control and stability of the
vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC corrects
for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by
applying the brake of the appropriate wheel(s) to
