The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system helps stabilize the vehicle when cornering.

ESC monitors where you steer and where the vehicle is actually moving. ESC applies brake pressure to any of the vehicle's brakes and intervenes in the engine control system to help the driver keep the vehicle on the intended path. It is not a substitute for safe driving. Always adjust speed and driving to road conditions.

WARNING

Never drive too fast for road conditions or too fast through curves. The ESC system does not prevent accidents.

Excessive speed in curves, abrupt maneuvers, and hydroplaning on wet surfaces may result in serious accidents.
