Driver assist systems
Braking and stabilising systems Overview
Stabilisation control (ESC)
ESC helps to stabilize the vehicle in borderline situa-
tions (e.g. when the vehicle starts to skid). ESC
brakes the individual wheels to maintain the direc-
tion of travel.
flashes - ESC is engaged
ESC Sport
ESC Sport allows for a sportier driving style.
lit up - ESC Sport is activated
Traction control (TCS)
ASR helps to stabilize the vehicle when accelerating
or driving on low-grip roads. ASR reduces the drive
power transmitted to the wheels when the wheels
spin.
flashes - ASR is engaged
Antilock braking system (ABS)
ABS helps maintain control of the vehicle during
emergency braking. An ABS intervention is noticea-
ble by pulsating movements of the brake pedal.
Motor Slip Regulation (MSR)
MSR helps to maintain control of the vehicle in the
event of a sudden reduction in speed, e.g. on icy
roads. If the drive wheels lock, MSR increases the
engine speed. This reduces the braking e
