Ford FOCUS RS 2017 Owner's Manual Supplement page 23

The electronic stability control or all-wheel
drive system may automatically turn off
during extreme drifting maneuvers. If a
system turns off, the electronic stability
control warning lamp illuminates or a
corresponding all-wheel drive message
appears in the information display.
Continue to drive and when normal driving
resumes, the systems automatically turn
on within a short period. If the electronic
stability control warning lamp remains
illuminated or a warning message remains
in the information display, have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Note: When using a programmed MyKey
you cannot switch this on.

Enhanced Torque Vectoring
Control
The system consists of two elements:
Torque vectoring control.
Automatically applies brake torque on
the inner wheel in a curve to increase
traction and decrease understeer.
Cornering understeer control.
Automatically controls the traction
response of the vehicle under braking
and acceleration on high and low
friction surfaces.
Unlike electronic stability control,
enhanced torque vectoring control does
not slow the vehicle. The system limits
excessive wheel slip giving greater
cornering ability.
Note: The system does not disable
enhanced torque vectoring control if you
switch the stability control system or
traction control system off.
In addition to enhanced torque vectoring
control, your vehicle also has all-wheel
drive with dynamic torque vectoring.
This feature further improves the
road-holding and traction abilities of your
vehicle. See All-Wheel Drive (page 13).
