- Comments Off on Dodge Dart: Electronic Stability Control
What is Electronic Stability Control? This is a feature of the all new 2013 Dodge Dart that monitors sensors in the steering column and passenger compartment. This is done to continually compare the steering action of the driver to the vehicle’s rotation around its vertical axis.
If the front end of a vehicle is under-steering, or not turning fast enough, ESC will automatically apply the inside rear brake. This is to help the vehicle achieve the turn that is desired.
When the rear end of the vehicle begins to fishtail or slide, ESC automatically engages the outside front brake. This is to correct any over-steering.
In addition to the braking, ESC may also reduce the engine power.

When off-roading on a trail, there may be times that you have to cross a stream or other kind of body of water in your vehicle.

Before attempting to cross water, remember to scope out a safe and appropriate entry and exit location. Also, it is important to check out the depth of the water. You don’t want to cross it if it is too deep. A good rule of thumb is if you cannot see the bottom, you should get out of the vehicle and walk through the water to make sure it is not too deep.
Make sure to drive through, but keep a steady pace. It will be important to keep momentum, as you are likely to encounter rocks and mud along the way. If you are to stop, [...]
