ESC and RSC® Systems

Both systems constantly monitor vehicle direction of travel relative to the driver's intended course and aid in keeping the vehicle traveling along that course. The RSC® system also monitors the vehicle roll motion and aids in keeping the vehicle stable during sudden or abrupt maneuvers. This is accomplished in the same manner as anti-lock braking and traction control.

When any of the above 3 systems activate, the driver may notice the same operational symptoms as ABS along with the following additional symptoms:

• A small deceleration or a reduction in the acceleration of the vehicle due to the PCM modulating engine torque and the HCU modulating brake pressure
• The sliding-car icon flashes (indicating a traction or stability event is taking place)
