What IS Electronic Stability Control (ESC)?
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) incorporates a range of technologies designed to give you greater control of your vehicle and help keep you safe.
If you have to steer sharply left or right ESC balances braking power between each individual wheel and can also reduce power from the engine; this helps counter understeer and oversteer, making the vehicle more stable and easier for you to control.
ESC and Traction Control can also reduce the risk of wheelspin in wet or slippery conditions.
For specific information on your vehicle refer to your Owner's Manual.
