Stability control

Your vehicle has stability control systems in place that can help to prevent skidding.

Electronic stability control

Electronic stability control1 consists of several sub-features that can apply your vehicle's brakes automatically to prevent skidding when the vehicle detects a loss of traction or steering control. To do so, ESC applies the brakes to each wheel individually. When this intervention happens, the symbol for ESC flashes in the instrument panel.

Your vehicle's stability control includes several other features, such as:
Anti-lock braking system2The vehicle's anti-lock braking system prevents the brakes from locking up during hard braking. This improves braking performance and maneuverability and helps to stabilize the vehicle.
Trailer stability assistThis is part of the ESC and can intervene if fishtailing is detected when you are towing a trailer.
Traction control3TCS is a safety feature designed to detect when the wheels lose traction or slip. The feature will then help the wheels regain traction by applying braking measures.
Regeneration stability controlHelps with preventing wheel locking when regenerative braking is applied.
