Electronic Stability Program (esp)
Electronic Stability Program (esp)
Your car is equipped with the Electronic
Stability Program (esp) as standard. esp
monitors the 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
encounter an obstruction,
! Excessive cornering speeds,
! Spinning of the driven wheels when
moving away.
>Note!
The esp indicator light in the speedometer
flashes while esp is active.
Depending on the driving situation
! esp will reduce the speed,
! esp selectively brakes individual
wheels,
! esp equalises the speed of the driven
wheels.
>Important notes for cars with esp!
! The engine must not be run while
! the handbrake is being tested on a
dynamometer.
! the car is being towed away with its
front axle raised.
Active braking intervention by esp
will otherwise destroy the brake
system on the rear axle.
! esp will only function properly if you fit
the recommended tyre sizes on the
wheels.
Accident risk!
In critical driving situations,
esp stabilises the car's response
subject to the laws of physics.
On no account can the system be
expected to help prevent accidents if
the car's speed is too high or the driver
is reckless. Adapt your driving style to
the road, traffic and weather
conditions.
Accident risk!
If the esp warning light in the
speedometer flashes, proceed as
follows:
! Only depress the accelerator as far
as necessary when driving off.
! Ease off the accelerator when
driving.
! 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.
