Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system may enhance your vehicle’s
stability during adverse maneuvers.

The ESC system helps the driver maintain steering control. ESC will
attempt to correct the vehicle motion by applying brake force at
individual tires and, if necessary, by reducing engine power.

During Dynamic Stability Control events the “sliding car” icon in the
instrument cluster will flash momentarily.

Driving maneuvers which may activate ESC system include:

Taking a turn too fast.

Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle.

Driving over a patch of ice.

Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road.

Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice
versa.

Entering a paved road from a gravel road, or vice versa.

Driving on slick surfaces.

Cornering while towing a heavily loaded trailer (refer to

Trailer

towing

in the

Tires, Wheels and Loading

chapter.)

Roll Stability Control™ (RSC)

The RSC system works in conjunction with the ESC system to help
maintain roll stability of the vehicle during aggressive maneuvers by
applying brake force to one or more wheels.

During Roll Stability Control™ (RSC) events the “sliding car” icon in the
instrument cluster will flash momentarily.

Driving conditions that may activate ESC include:

Emergency lane-change

Taking a turn too fast

Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
