Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with RSC system may enhance
your vehicle's stability during adverse maneuvers.
The AdvanceTrac with RSC system helps the driver maintain steering
control. AdvanceTrac with RSC will attempt to correct the vehicle
motion by applying brake force at individual tires and, if necessary, by
reducing engine power.

instrument cluster will flash momentarily.
Driving maneuvers which may activate AdvanceTrac with RSC system
include:
• Taking a turn too fast.
• Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle.
• Driving over a patch of ice.

• Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice
versa.
