Dependingonthevehicle,theymayin
clude:
– an anti-lock braking system
(ABS);
– the electronic stability control
(ESC) with understeer control, side
winds assistance and traction con
trol;
– driver assistance with a trailer;
– emergency brake assist;
– the traction control;
– hill start assistance.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Underheavybraking,theABSpre
vents the wheels from locking, allowing
the stopping distance to be managed
and keeping control of the vehicle.
Underthesecircumstances,thevehi
clecanbesteeredtoavoidanobsta
clewhilstbraking.Inaddition,thissys
tem can increase stopping distances,
particularly on roads with low surface
grip (wet ground etc.).
The ABS does not in any way improve
thevehicle’s"physical"performance
relatingtotheroadsurfaceandroad
holding. It is still essential to follow the
rules of good driving practice (such as
drivingatasafedistancefromtheve
hicle in front etc.).
In an emergency, apply
firm and continuous pres
sure to the brake pedal.
Thereisnoneedtopumpitre
peatedly. The ABS will modulate
the force applied in the braking
system.

Electronic stability control
(ESC) with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability program ESC
This system helps you to keep control
ofthevehicleincriticaldrivingcondi
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain
wheels and/or engine power. In the
eventthatthesystemisengaged,indi
