by braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as required.

(If Equipped)
The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends.
Stability Control Warning Lamp
While driving, it flashes when the
system is operating. See
Warning Lamps and
Indicators (page 46).

USING STABILITY CONTROL

Note: The system is automatically
activated when you start the engine.
The traction control portion of the system
can be turned off through the information
display. See Using Traction Control
(page 94).
