Traction Control

The traction control system that is part of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), is an all-speed traction control. All-speed traction control enhances mobility and prevents wheel slip when accelerating on slippery surfaces. It also provides a measure of directional stability control. Using the wheel-speed sensors, it can detect excessive yaw and help keep the vehicle on the intended course, for example, when accelerating around a curve.

All-speed traction control is effective up to 137 km/h (85 mph).

The traction control system may be turned off or on by depressing the ESC Off switch button, located near the middle of the dash.
