Stability control
Your car has stability control systems in place that can help to prevent skidding.
Electronic stability control
Electronic stability control1 consists of several sub-features that can apply your car's brakes automatically to prevent skidding when the car detects a loss of traction or steering control. To do this, ESC applies the brakes to each wheel individually. When this intervention happens, the symbol for ESC flashes in the driver display.
Your car's stability control includes several other features, such as:
| Anti-lock braking system2 | The car's anti-lock braking system prevents the brakes from locking up during hard braking. This improves braking performance and manoeuvrability and helps with stabilising the car. |
| Trailer stability assist | This is part of the ESC and can intervene if snaking is detected when you are towing a trailer. |
| Traction control3 | TCS is a safety feature designed to detect when the wheels lose traction or slip. The feature will then help the wheels regain traction by applying braking measures. |
| Regeneration stability control | Helps with preventing wheel locking when regenerative braking is applied. |
