Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it applies the appropriate brake and may reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM will only intervene during very severe or evasive driving maneuvers.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) can only reduce the chance of wheel lift occurring during severe or evasive driving maneuvers. It cannot prevent wheel lift due to other factors such as road conditions, leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.
NOTE: Anytime the ESC system is in the “Full Off” mode, ERM is disabled. Refer to Electronic Stability Control (ESC) for a complete explanation of the available ESC modes.
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road conditions and driving conditions, influence
the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur. Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
cannot prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving
the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles. The capabilities of an ERM-equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize
the user’s safety or the safety of others.
