Electronic Stability Program (ESP) (system description)
Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
(system description)
Dynamic handling control (FDR) acts to
prevent the bus from skidding or tilting
(subject to the laws of physics), regard-
less of vehicle load and road surface
conditions, and particularly in critical
driving situations (e.g. sudden evasive
manoeuvre or high cornering speed).
This is achieved by selective braking of
individual wheels or, where necessary,
all wheels. Combined with acceleration
skid control (ASR), this system is called
the Electronic Stability Program (ESP).
ESP remains operational even when the
service brake is applied or a continuous
brake is active.
Danger.
RISK OF ACCIDENT. The Electronic Sta-
bility Program (ESP) does not relieve the
driver of the responsibility for adopting a
driving style which takes traffic and road
conditions into account. The ability of
ESP to restabilise the bus is subject to
the laws of physics. The bus may skid
out of control if the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) has been deactivated and
the drive wheels start to spin.
Note:
In wintry conditions, optimum perform-
ance of the Electronic Stability Program
(ESP) cannot be achieved unless winter
tyres (M+S) are fitted.
M54.00-1945-71
Note:
It is recommended that the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP) be deactivated
using “ASR/ESP OFF” pushbutton (1) if
traction problems are experienced when
driving with snow chains fitted or over
loose surfaces (e.g. sand or gravel).
