SAFETY AND SECURITY
1 STANDARD ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP).* ESP, which includes all-speed traction control, Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation and Trailer Sway Control, assists drivers in maintaining
control of their vehicles during extreme steering maneuvers. ESP works to correct the vehicle's course by automatically controlling the throttle and applying the brakes at individual wheels. All-speed
traction control reduces engine power, applies the brakes to spinning wheels and transfers torque to the appropriate wheel when slippage is detected. Brake Assist automatically increases braking
pressure to its maximum force during emergency brake situations. Electronic Roll Mitigation senses when a rollover may occur and applies braking force to the correct wheel to reduce the likelihood
of such an event. Trailer Sway Control detects "sway" unique to trailering and then engages Nitro's brakes to slow the vehicle and trailer down, reduces engine torque and then increases the brake
force to only one side of the vehicle to help counteract the sway from the trailer. 2 ADVANCED MULTISTAGE DRIVER AND FRONT-PASSENGER AIR BAGS.

the event of a side impact. 4 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS). This standard four-wheel disc system helps prevent wheel lockup for improved steering under extreme braking or slippery conditions.
5 TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR. Keep an eye on safe and proper tire pressure. A display alert comes through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or a warning lamp (on SXT models) when low
tire pressure is detected. 6 PARKSENSE.
emit ultrasonic sound waves to a distance of up to six feet and increase in frequency as objects get closer, you'll have a better determination of your distance from other objects while driving in reverse.
*No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer
fl ashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
Always observe the passenger air bag indicator lamp to determine if the OCS classifi cation is appropriate. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat correctly using an infant or child restraint system or the seat belt positioned correctly for the
child's age and weight.
