an obstruction (The hazard lights will also be activated to warn other drivers).
- EBD maximizes stopping power.
- EBA applies an immediate maximum brake force.
- ESP is a reactionary system which is designed to keep the car stable in an emergency such
as a quick lane change.
- ASR prevents the wheels from spinning in low traction circumstances.
SWITCHING OFF ESP/ASR SYSTEMS
- In certain exceptional conditions such as starting the vehicle when stuck in mud, snow, or on loose
ground, you may wish to switch the system off by pressing the button, located on the dashboard.
If the warning lamp flashes then the ESP or ASR have been triggered and are operational.
