The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
monitors information from various vehicle
sensors and then compares the driver's

vehicle. If an unstable condition occurs - a
sudden evasive movement for example -
ESC intervenes within fractions of a
second via the engine computer and
brake system and attempts to stabilize
the vehicle.
