counteracting the over/under steer condition. Engine
power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain
the desired path.
ESC uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle
path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual
path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match
the intended path, ESC applies the brake of the appro-
priate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or
understeer condition.
• Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.
• Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than
appropriate for the steering wheel position.
ESC Malfunction Indicator Light
The ESC Malfunction Indicator Light located
in the instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon
as the tires lose traction and the ESC system
becomes active. The ESC Malfunction Indica-
tor Light also flashes when TCS is active. If the ESC
Malfunction Indicator Light begins to flash during ac-
celeration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little
throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and
driving to the prevailing road conditions.
