from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.
Engine drag control
Engine drag control (EDC3) can help prevent
inadvertent wheel lock, e.g. after downshifting
or using engine braking when driving at low
speeds on a slippery surface.
Inadvertent wheel lock while driving could
impair the driver's ability to steer the vehicle.
When ESC Sport Mode is selected, the func-

help stabilize a vehicle that is towing a trailer if
the vehicle and trailer have begun to sway.

ESC Sport Mode also helps provide more
traction, even if the vehicle gets stuck or is
driving on a loose surface such as deep snow
or loose sand.
