Driving
Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate the RSC system, which
include:
• Emergency lane-change
• Taking a turn too fast
• Quick maneuvering to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle
Switching Off Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
If the vehicle is stuck in snow, mud or sand, and seems to lose engine
power, switching off certain features of the ESC system may be
beneficial because the wheels are allowed to spin. This will restore full
engine power and will enhance momentum through the obstacle. To
switch off the ESC system, press the ESC button. Full features of the
ESC system can be restored by pressing the ESC button again or by
turning off and restarting the engine.
If you switch off the ESC system, the "sliding car" icon
steadily. Pressing the ESC button again will turn off the sliding car
icon .
In R (Reverse), ABS and the engine and brake traction control features
will continue to function; however, DSC and RSC are disabled.

Trailer Sway Control (TSC) (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with trailer sway control (TSC). When
properly equipped, trailer sway control will use the sensors of the
vehicle's ESC system to detect and attempt to mitigate trailer sway by
applying brake force at individual wheels and, if necessary, by reducing
engine power. No driver action is required.
