ESC (Electronic Stability Control)

(depending on version/market, where fitted)

This is a vehicle stability control system that helps maintain directional control when the tyres lose grip. The system can detect situations that may compromise vehicle stability and automatically intervenes on the brakes of all four wheels, individually, to produce a stabilising torque on the vehicle.

The ESC system switches on automatically when the engine starts and cannot be switched off.

System intervention

System intervention is indicated by the ESC warning light flashing on the instrument cluster, to inform the driver that the vehicle is in a critical condition of stability and grip.
