SSC switch but enable conditions are not met.

WARNING!
SSC is only intended to assist the driver in control-
ling vehicle speed when driving in off road condi-
tions. The driver must remain attentive to the driving
conditions and is responsible for maintaining a safe
vehicle speed.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
This system enhances directional control and stability of
the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC cor-
rects for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by
applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in
counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition. En-
gine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle
maintain the desired path.
