Switching Stability Control On and Off

The system turns on each time you switch the ignition on.

The electronic stability control system is disabled when the transmission selector is in reverse (R).

You can switch the traction control independently. See Switching Traction Control On and Off.

Note: When you place your vehicle into four-wheel drive low (4L), the stability control disables. Stability control resumes when you put your vehicle back into two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive high (4H).
