Road holding
Definition
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) comprising 
the following systems:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS) and 
electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
-   emergency braking assistance,
-  wheel anti-slip regulation (ASR) or traction 
control,
-   dynamic stability control (DSC).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) 
and electronic brake force 
distribution (EBFD)
Definition
These systems improve the stability and 
manoeuvrability of your vehicle when braking 
and contribute towards improved control in 
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road 
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the event of 
emergency braking.
The electronic brake force distribution system 
manages the braking pressure wheel by wheel.
Emergency braking assistance
Definition
In an emergency, this system enables you to 
reach the optimum braking pressure more 
quickly and therefore reduce the stopping 
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which 
the brake pedal is pressed. This is felt by a 
reduction in the resistance of the pedal and an 
increase in the effectiveness of the braking.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Definition
This system (also known as Traction Control) 
optimises traction in order to avoid wheel 
slip by acting on the brakes of the driving 
wheels and on the engine. It also improves 
the directional stability of the vehicle on 
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Definition
If there is a difference between the path 
followed by the vehicle and that required by the 
driver, this system monitors each wheel and 
automatically acts on the brake of one or more 
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle 
to the required path, within the limits of the laws 
of physics.
