electronic stability program
(eSP) with understeer control

Warning light on the instrument
panel flashes when the function starts
operating. electronic Stability Program (eSP)
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 the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di -
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power.
Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding). t
raction control (ASR)
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au -
tomatically until the drive supplied be -
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.

Parking
To park the vehicle with a gear en -
gaged (on a slope, for example): before
switching off the engine, check that a
gear other than N is displayed on the
instrument panel.
The next time the engine is started, de-
press the brake pedal. The vehicle will
then automatically change to neutral
(letter N on the display).
Audible warning
If you hold the vehicle on a slope for
too long without applying the brakes or
handbrake you will strain the system
and there is a risk that the clutch will
overheat.
In this case, an intermittent beeping
sound will remind you that you should
put your foot on the brake pedal or
apply the handbrake.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear. For safety rea -
sons you will hear an intermittent beep -
ing sound when you open the door if
you have not shifted into neutral or you
have not switched off the ignition or de-
pressed the brake pedal.
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (e.g.: striking a post, raised kerb
or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an approved
Dealer.
