Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate the RSC

system, which

include:

Emergency lane-change

Taking a turn too fast

Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle

Switching Off Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine

power, switching off certain features of the ESC system may be

beneficial because the wheels are allowed to spin. This will restore full

engine power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle. To

switch off the ESC system, press the ESC button. Full features of the

ESC system can be restored by pressing the ESC button again or by

turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the ESC system, the “sliding car” icon

will illuminate

steadily. Pressing the ESC button again will turn off the

sliding car

icon

.

In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine and brake traction control features

will continue to function; however, DSC and RSC

are disabled.

Trailer Sway Control (TSC) (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with trailer sway control (TSC). When

properly equipped, trailer sway control will use the sensors of the

vehicle’s ESC system to detect and attempt to mitigate trailer sway by

applying brake force at individual wheels and, if necessary, by reducing

engine power. No driver action is required.
