Stability/Traction Control Switch
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The stability/traction control switch allows the driver to control use of the traction control system. This is independent of the standard ABS and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) functions, which cannot be switched off by the driver. The traction control system status is indicated by a stability/traction control indicator in the Instrument Cluster (IC) (or message center if equipped). When the traction control system is switched off, this indicator will illuminate. The standard ABS and ESC functions continue to operate as designed unless the yellow ABS warning indicator is also illuminated. Normal braking function always occurs, unless the red brake warning indicator is illuminated.
