Vauxhall Mokka 2021 - Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Warning
ASR/DSC
These systems enhance safety during
normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks
or drive at high speed.
It is in conditions of reduced grip
(rain, snow, ice) that the risk of
loss of grip increases. It is therefore
important for your safety to keep these
systems activated in all conditions, and
particularly in difficult conditions.
Correct operation of these systems
depends on compliance with
the manufacturer's recommendations
relating to the wheels (tyres and rims),
braking and electronic components,
as well as the assembly and repair
procedures provided by dealers.
In order to ensure that these systems
remain effective in wintry conditions,
the use of snow tyres or all-season
tyres is recommended. All four wheels
must be fitted with tyres approved for
your vehicle.
All tyre specifications are listed on the
tyre/paint label. For more information
on
Identification markings, refer to the
corresponding section.
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of road
surface or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve
(understeer / oversteer), engine output
is reduced and the wheels are braked
individually.
ESC operates in combination with the
traction control system. It prevents the
driven wheels from spinning.
The traction control system is a
component of the ESC.
The traction control system improves
driving stability when necessary,
regardless of the type of road surface or
tyre grip, by preventing the driven wheels
from spinning.
As soon as the driven wheels starts
to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably improves
the driving stability of the vehicle on
slippery road surfaces.
ESC and traction control system are
operational after each engine start
as soon as the control indicator
extinguishes.
When ESC and traction control system
operate,
flashes.
After reconnecting the vehicle battery,
the system needs a recalibration by
driving a short distance.
Warning
Do not let this special safety feature
tempt you into taking risks when
driving.
Adapt speed to the road conditions.
