WARNING:

Remember that even advanced technology cannot

defy the laws of physics. It’s always possible to lose control of a

vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions. Aggressive

driving on any road condition can cause you to lose control of your

vehicle increasing the risk of personal injury or property damage.

Activation of the electronic stability control system is an indication that

at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road;

this could reduce the operator’s ability to control the vehicle,

potentially resulting in a loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,

personal injury and death. If your Electronic Stability Control system

activates, SLOW DOWN.

WARNING:

If a failure has been detected within the electronic

stability control system, the “sliding car” icon

will illuminate

steadily. Verify that the electronic stability control system is not

manually disabled (push the electronic stability control button located
on the center of the instrument panel). If the “sliding car” icon

still

illuminates steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer

immediately. Operating your vehicle with electronic stability control

disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,

vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

The ESC system provides the following stability enhancement features

for certain driving situations:

Traction Control System (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 ESC 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.
