Electronic Stability Control; Traction Control System (TCS) ; Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) - Page 13

Electronic Stability Control

automatically 

enables Traction Control (TCS), Dynamic 
Stability Control (DSC), and Roll Stability 
Control™ (RSC) each time the engine  
is started.  

Traction Control System (TCS) 

detects drive 

wheel slippage and lowers engine torque to 
prevent loss of traction.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) 

regulates 

braking and engine torque in conjunction with 
the ABS and TCS to help control skids or lateral 
slides during sudden or evasive maneuvering.

Roll Stability Control™ (RSC) 

detects when 

corrective action is needed and controls engine 
torque and braking on each wheel to prevent a 
vehicle rollover.

Note:

Electronic Stability Control system will only 

intervene if the driving situation requires it.

ELECTRIC POWER-ASSISTED STEERING (EPAS)

Electric power-assisted steering offers more assistance at slower speeds 
and less assistance at greater speeds, for additional road feedback  
and handling.

See “Driver’s View” 
for  button location.

A Tribute equipped with AWD is always active and requires no driver 
input. Tribute’s intelligent AWD system monitors vehicle conditions and will 
automatically adjust power distribution between the front and rear wheels. 
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for further information.
