Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) system helps to stabilise the
vehicle during cornering manoeu-
vres.
ESC checks where you are steering
and where the vehicle is actually
going. ESC applies braking pressure
to any one of the vehicle’s brakes
and intervenes in the engine man-
agement system to assist the driver
with keeping the vehicle on the
intended path.It is not a substitute for safe driving
practices. Always adjust your speed
and driving to the road conditions.
ESC operation
ESC ON condition
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the ESC and the ESC OFF
indicator lights illuminate for approxi-
mately 3 seconds and goes off then
the ESC is turned on.
OLF054448R
Never drive too fast for the road
conditions or too quickly when
cornering. The ESC system will
not prevent accidents.
Excessive speed in turns, abrupt
manoeuvres, and hydroplaning
on wet surfaces can result in
severe accidents.
