ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESC)
WARNING: No electronic system can
remove the need for safe driving
practices. Although the Electronic Stability
Control can help to maintain control of the
vehicle, it cannot prevent any accident
which may result from the vehicle turning
at too high a speed or from
careless/dangerous driving techniques.
Note: By default ESC is switched on every
time you start your Revero.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system uses various sensors to monitor
driver inputs and vehicle motion. Under
certain driving conditions, the ESC system
helps to perform the following functions:
• Controls brake pressure to reduce
wheel slip on one slipping drive wheel so
power is transferred to a drive wheel on
the same axle that is not slipping.
• Controls brake pressure and traction
motor output to reduce drive wheel slip
based on vehicle speed.
• Controls brake pressure at individual
wheels and traction motor output to
help the driver maintain control of the
vehicle in the following conditions:
• Understeer
• Oversteer
When the ESC system is operating
the indicator light on the DIS will
flash to indicate it is in use.
TURNING OFF ESC
CAUTION: Driving with ESC
deactivated can put additional loads
on the brakes. It is recommended that ESC
is switched on for normal driving
conditions.
In some driving conditions it may prove
helpful to deactivate ESC to improve
mobility. These conditions include:
• Starting on a loose surface, such as
gravel or snow.
• Driving in deep snow, sand or mud.
• Rocking the vehicle out of a hole or deep
rut.
The ESC OFF indicator light will
illuminate on the DIS.
