By helping drivers
maintain control of their vehicles during emergencies, this feature already is preventing some crashes that otherwise might be addressed by the technologies the Institute assessed.
This addition is based on Institute research indicating that ESC significantly reduces crash risk, especially the risk of fatal single - vehicle crashes, by helping drivers
maintain control of their vehicles during emergency maneuvers).

From Electronic Brake - pressure Distribution (EBD), which helps
maintain appropriate stopping power
during a hard - braking situation, to Electronic Stability

Other standard safety features on the
vehicle include traction
control to maximize tire grip with the road, electronic
vehicle stability and roll mitigation for
maintaining the intended driving path even
during sudden maneuvers, high - beam daytime running lights to increase conspicuity, trailer sway damping for greater
control of whatever you are pulling behind you, four - wheel disc brakes for shortening stopping distance, and an anti-lock braking system for preventing the wheels from locking up
during hard stops.
It can help drivers
maintain control during emergency maneuvers when their
vehicles otherwise might spin out, or reduce
vehicle speed to prevent running off the outside
of a curve.
I once avoided getting in an accident by braking hard and the ABS did a wonderful job
of stopping the
vehicle and
maintaining control during the hard braking.

maintaining control of the
vehicle in such instances.
