Traction Control
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Jeep Patriot and 2009 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The traction control system that is part of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), is an all-speed traction control. All-Speed Traction Control enhances mobility and prevents wheel slip when accelerating on slippery surfaces. It also provides a measure of directional stability control. Using the wheel-speed sensors, it can detect excessive yaw and help keep the car on the intended course, as for instance, when accelerating around a curve.
All-Speed Traction Control is effective up to 85 mph (137 km/h).
The traction control system may be turned off or on by depressing the ESP Off switch button located on the instrument panel.
