The Electronic Stability Control system provides the following stability
enhancement features for certain driving situations:

Traction Control (TCS), which functions to help avoid drive-wheel
spin and loss of traction.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), which functions to help avoid skids
or lateral slides

Roll Stability Control™ (RSC

), which functions to help avoid a

vehicle roll-over.

The Electronic Stability Control system automatically enables each time
the engine is started. All features of the Electronic Stability Control
system (TCS, DSC, and RSC

) are active and monitor the vehicle from

start-up. However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation
requires it.

The Electronic Stability Control
system includes an Electronic
Stability Control

Off

button on the

center of the instrument panel, and
a “sliding car” icon

in the

instrument cluster. The “sliding car”
icon

in the instrument cluster will illuminate temporarily during

start-up as part of a normal system self-check, or during driving if a
driving situation causes the Electronic Stability Control system to
operate. If the “sliding car” icon

illuminates steadily, verify that the

Electronic Stability Control system is not manually disabled by pressing
the Electronic Stability Control

Off

button located on the center stack

of the instrument panel. If the “sliding car” icon

remains steadily

illuminated, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately.

When Electronic Stability Control performs a normal system self-check,
some drivers may notice a slight movement of the brake, and/or a
rumble, grunting, or grinding noise after startup and when driving off.

When an event occurs that activates Electronic Stability Control you may
experience the following:

A slight deceleration of the vehicle

The “sliding car”

indicator light will flash.

A vibration in the pedal when your foot is on the brake pedal
