Electronicstabilitycontrol(ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
Thissystemimprovesthestabilityand
manoeuvrabilityofyourvehiclewhenbraking
andcontributestowardsimprovedcontrolin
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
TheABSpreventswheellockintheeventof
emergencybraking.
Theelectronicbrakeforcedistributionsystem
managesthebrakingpressurewheelbywheel.
Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
Inanemergency,thissystemenablesyouto
reachtheoptimumbrakingpressuremore
quicklyandthereforereducethestopping
distance.
Itistriggeredaccordingtothespeedatwhich
thebrakepedalispressed.Thisisfeltbya
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an
increaseintheeffectivenessofthebraking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
TheASRsystem(alsoknownasTraction
Control)optimisestractioninordertolimit
wheelslipbyactingonthebrakesofthedriving
wheelsandontheengine.Italsoimproves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followedbythevehicleandthatrequiredby
thedriver,theDSCmonitorseachwheeland
automaticallyactsonthebrakeofoneormore
wheelsandontheenginetoreturnthevehicle
totherequiredpath,withinthelimitsofthelaws
ofphysics.
