Electronic Brake Control System
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system that includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), Brake Assist System (BAS), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Trailer Sway Control (TSC), and Hill Descent Control (HDC). All of these systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in various driving conditions, and are commonly referred to as ESC.
WARNING!
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can they increase the traction afforded by prevailing
road conditions. The ABS cannot prevent collisions, including those resulting from
excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. The
capabilities of an ABS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
