HANDLING
Electronic stability control (ESC) limits hydroplaning on wet roads while the hi-tech, adjustable suspension smooths out all the bumps for a softer ride. ESC is designed to measure the driver’s steering input against the rotation in connection with the vertical axis and traction at the wheels. Automatic braking, which steers the car in the intended direction, is applied if differences are detected. The new Mustang is equipped with tires that are rated for maximum water displacement, resulting in a safer, more comfortable ride.
