• When moving out of the
mud or slippery road,
pressing the accelerator
pedal may not cause the
engine rpm (revolutions
per minute) to increase.
The Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) monitors information from
various vehicle sensors and then
compares the driver's commands
with the actual behavior of the
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.
•
When starting the engine,
you may hear a slight tick-
ing sound. This is the ESC
performing an automatic
system self-check and
does not indicate a prob-
lem.
