Accident Avoidance

During extreme steering maneuvers the standard Electronic Stability Program[1](ESP) system helps maintain control by sensing when the vehicle is starting to over- or understeer.

The system automatically applies individual brakes or controls the throttle to help you stay safely on course. When you don’t want the extra hand, ESP[1] is specially tuned for performance handling so you can switch it off.

The Antilock Brakes (ABS) incorporate multiple quick brake pulses to prevent wheel lockup during braking on slippery surfaces. The brake calipers instantly and rapidly grab and release the brake rotor to slow the vehicle and avoid sliding.

Drive with confidence. Compass's All-Speed Traction Control system uses sensors to monitor wheel spin, reducing engine speed, applying the brakes to spinning wheels and transferring torque to the appropriate wheel when slippage is detected.

Compass's Brake Assist helps ensure 100% brake efficiency during emergency brake situations by balancing the amount of brake pressure equally to all four brakes.

Anticipating the need for additional traction, Compass's Freedom-Drive I™ full-time active 4WD system responds to wheel slippage by transferring power equally to both the front and rear wheels, improving vehicle stability.
