Traction Control






TRACTION CONTROL





The traction control system that is part of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP(R)), 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 car on the intended course, as for instance, when accelerating around a curve.


All-Speed Traction Control is effective up to 85 mph (137 km/h).


The traction control system may be turned off or on by depressing the ESP Off switch button located on the instrument panel.
