Transmission:

• Steering type: Speed-sensitive, power-assisted rack-and-pinion with integrated hydraulic damper
  

Traction Control / Stability Sytems:

• Electronic Stability Program (ESP®): ESP compares the
  driver's intended course, via steering and braking inputs,
  to the vehicle's response, via lateral acceleration, rotation (yaw),
  and individual wheel speeds. ESP then brakes individual front
  or rear wheels and/or reduces excess engine power as needed
  to help correct understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing).
• ESP also integrates all-speed traction control, which senses
  drive-wheel slip under acceleration and individually brakes
  the slipping wheel or wheels, and/or reduces excess engine
  power, until control is regained
  
• 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS):
  4-ETS monitors the speed of all four wheels to detect wheel slip,
  then applies individual brakes as needed and/or reduces
  excess engine power.
• 4-ETS continually balances the torque split to ensure power is permitted to flow to the wheel or wheels with traction
