TRACTION CONTROL (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (ESP) These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS system.
The ASR system optimises drive to prevent the wheels skidding, by act-ing on the brakes of the drive wheelsand on the engine. It also allows thedirectional stability of the vehicle tobe improved on acceleration. If thereis a variation between the trajectoryfollowed by the vehicle and that
required by the driver, the ESP sys-tem automatically acts on the engineand the brake of one or morewheels, in order to put the vehicleback on course.
Operation of the ASR and ESP systems
When one of these two sys-tems is operating, this lightflashes.
