Electronic Stability Program (esp)
How esp works
Your vehicle comes standardly
1
equipped
with the Electronic Stability Program
(esp) with hydraulic brake assistant. esp
monitors driving stability and traction,
i.e. the transmission of power between
the tyres and the road.
esp actively intervenes in the following
driving situations:
! Evasive action if you suddenly encoun!
ter an obstruction,
! Excessive cornering speeds,
! Spinning of the driven wheels when
moving away (acceleration slip regu!
lation),
! Locking of the wheels while braking
(anti!lock brake system).
>Note!
The indicator light in the speedometer
flashes while esp is active.
Depending on the driving situation
! esp reduces the engine output,
! esp selectively brakes individual
wheels,
! esp equalises the speed of the driven
wheels.
>Important!
esp will only function properly if you fit
the recommended tyre sizes on the
wheels.
1With the exception of 47 kW.
Accident risk!
In critical driving situations,
esp stabilises the car's response sub!
ject to the laws of physics.
On no account can the system be expect!
ed to help prevent accidents if the
car's speed is too high or the driver is
reckless.
Accident risk!
If the esp warning light in the
speedometer flashes, proceed as fol!
lows:
! Only depress the accelerator as far
as necessary when driving off.
! Ease off the accelerator when driv!
ing.
! Adapt your driving style to the road,
traffic and weather conditions.
The car could otherwise start to swerve.
esp is unable to reduce the risk of an
accident if you are driving too fast.
