Stability control
Your vehicle has stability control systems in place that can help to prevent skidding.
Electronic stability control
Electronic stability control[1] 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 system[2] | The 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 assist | This is part of the ESC and can intervene if fishtailing is detected when you are towing a trailer. |
| Traction control[3] | TCS 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 control | Helps with preventing wheel locking when regenerative braking is applied. |
