Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) monitors
the amount of wheel spin of each of the
driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the
TCS may apply brake pressure to the spin-
ning wheel(s) and/or reduce vehicle power to
provide enhanced acceleration and stability.
A feature of the TCS, Brake Limited Differen -
tial (BLD), functions similar to a limited slip
differential and controls the wheel spin
across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven
axle is spinning faster than the other, the
system will apply the brake of the spinning
wheel. This will allow more vehicle torque to
be applied to the wheel that is not spinning.
BLD may remain enabled even if TCS and
ESC are in a reduced mode.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) uses sensors in
the vehicle to recognize an excessively
swaying trailer and will take the appropriate
actions to attempt to stop the sway. TSC will
become active automatically once an exces -
sively swaying trailer is recognized.
NOTE:
TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying.
Always use caution when towing a trailer and
follow the trailer tongue weight recommen -dations. Refer to “Trailer Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa
-
tion.
When TSC is functioning, the “ESC Activa -
tion/Malfunction Indicator Light” will flash,
the engine power may be reduced and you
may feel the brakes being applied to indi -
vidual wheels to attempt to stop the trailer
from swaying. TSC is disabled when the ESC
system is in the “Partial Off” or “Full Off”
modes.
AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) — If
Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear bumper fascia, to detect highway
licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks,
motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot
zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle. Rear Detection Zones
When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning light will momentarily illuminate in
both outside rear view mirrors to let the
driver know that the system is operational.
The BSM system sensors operate when the
vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE
and enters standby mode when the vehicle is
in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approxi -
mately one lane width on both sides of the
vehicle 12 ft (3.8 m). The zone length starts
at the outside mirror and extends approxi -
mately 10 ft (3 m) beyond the rear bumper
of the vehicle. The BSM system monitors the
detection zones on both sides of the vehicle
when the vehicle speed reaches approxi -
mately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will
alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the
vehicle down, stop at the nearest safe
location, and adjust the trailer load to
eliminate trailer sway.

Minimum Ground Clearance (Reference A)
The clearance value is measured next to the
lower edge of the differential. This value also
defines those for the “Approach Angle” the
“Departure Angle” and the “Breakover
Angle”.
Dimensions are expressed in inches (mm)
and refer to the vehicle equipped with its
original tires.Approach Angle (Reference B)
The approach angle is determined by the
horizontal line of the road surface, and by the
tangent line passing between the front
wheel, and the most projecting low point of
the car.
The wider the angle, the lower the chance to
hit an obstacle with the body or chassis,
when climbing a steep slope or overcoming
an obstacle.Departure Angle (Reference C)
The departure angle is determined by the
same lines of the “Approach Angle”, and
refers to the rear part of the vehicle.
Breakover Angle (Reference D)
The value of the “Breakover Angle” is linked
to the ground clearance of the vehicle and
indicates the attitude of the vehicle to over
