These systems
have got your back.

The Electronic Stability Program[1] (ESP) is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicles during extreme steering maneuvers. ESP senses when a vehicle is starting to spin (oversteer) or plow (understeer), and attempts to correct the vehicle's course by automatically controlling the throttle and applying the brakes at individual wheels. The control you'll feel is astonishing.

An important aspect of ESP, Journey's traction control system is tuned for on-road activity during normal operation. When wheel spin occurs, the system maintains traction by applying the brakes and in some cases closing the throttle, to minimize spin during acceleration.

All-Wheel Drive anticipates the need for added traction and responds to wheel-slippage by transferring power to the rear wheels. This gives greater driving performance and increased safety and security. The system operates only on demand, thereby reducing unnecessary fuel consumption.

    In addition to the added confidence of All-Speed traction control, Journey's four-wheel Antilock Disc Brake System (ABS) with brake assist helps prevent wheel lockup for shorter stopping distances and improved control under extreme conditions. Brake assist senses when you stomp on the brake and delivers additional stopping power to the situation.
