ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) W/ TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM - NHTSA studies show passenger
cars equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) experience 35% fewer single-vehicle
crashes and 30% fewer single-vehicle fatalities.
- Reduces unintended understeer (plowing), sensors measure differences between driver's intended path when actual
turn is less than intended, and braking force is applied to inside rear
wheel to correct vehicle's understeer
- Reduces unintended oversteer (fishtailing), sensors measure differences between driver's intended path when actual
turn is more than intended, and braking force is applied to outside front
wheel to correct vehicle's oversteer.
- ESC cannot compensate for severe driver error
- ESC includes Traction Control System (TCS) which reduces wheel spin under acceleration.
IMPRESSIVE STANDARD BRAKING SYSTEM - Helps maintain vehicle steering
control while braking under slippery road conditions (e.g., ice, snow, rain) and during emergency braking situations
under any road conditions.
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is a 4-sensor, 4-channel system.
- Includes Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist.
- Brake force applied independently to each wheel.
