Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System (TCS) work in tandem to prevent skids and maintain traction, to keep the vehicle under control even in difficult conditions.
Research by the NHTSA has shown that in single-vehicle incidents, ESC-equipped SUVs are in 67% fewer crashes and experience 63% fewer fatalities.
Plus the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that for vehicles with ESC, all fatal collisions fell 52%. Reason enough for Hyundai to make both ESC and TCS standard on every Tucson.
