ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)
Electronic stability program (ESP) is intended for improving
safety and driving convenience. ESP compares the actual vehicle
trajectory with the trajectory set by the driver. If discrepancy
between trajectory set by the driver and the actual one is detected
the system interferes in the operation of the brake system and into
the engine operation, in order to keep the vehicle trajectory set by
the driver to maintain stability and drivability of the vehicle.
WARNING! ESP is an auxiliary system. Do not rely on ESP
only, drive with precautions (including adequate speed selection,
in accordance with the situation on the road).
OSP operation in various modes
When the ignition is turned on, the signal devices of switching
off
, operating and malfunction of ESP on the instrument
cluster are switched on for approximately 3 s, after that ESP is
activated.
When the system comes into operation, the signal device
of
operation and malfunction of ESP on the instrument cluster starts
ashing. ESP operation may be accompanied by light pulsation and
automatic operation of brake mechanisms. This is not a deviaton
from the norm. For improvement of traction characteristics of the
motor vehicle on dirty or slippery road, the crankshaft rotation
frequency at pressing the accelerator pedal (even to the extreme
position) may not increase. It is needed to maintain the vehicle,
to hold adhesion of the wheels to the road, and is not a sign of a
malfunction.
ATTENTION! It is not recommended to install tires the size
of which differs from those installed at the manufacturing plant. At
changing tires, the size of which differs from the installed ones, to
ensure correct ESP and speedometer operation, it is necessary to
save the new tire size in the ESP electronic control unit memory.
