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 driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
ù flashes on the instrument panel. 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. Operating faults
When the system detects an operat
-
ing fault the message “Check ESP” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel. In this case, the ESP
and ASR are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.

Parking sensor
Operating principle
Ultrasonic detectors fitted in the vehi -
cle’s rear bumper measure the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle
whilst reversing.
When reversing, most objects located
less than approximately 1.5 metres
away from the rear of the vehicle are
detected and a beep is emitted.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 25 centi -
metres from the obstacle.
PArking DiSt Ance cOntrOl (1/2)
Automatic activation/deactivation of
the rear parking distance control
The system deactivates:
– when the handbrake is engaged;
– when the vehicle speed is above ap-
proximately 4 mph (7 km/h);
– when the vehicle is stationary for
more than approximately five sec -
onds and an obstacle is detected
(such as when in a traffic jam etc.);
– when you are in positions n and P.
This function is an additional aid that indicates the distance between the
vehicle and an obstacle whilst reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it replace the driver’s care or responsibil -
ity whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out for sudden hazards during driving: always
ensure that there are no moving obstacles (such as a child, animal, pram or bi-
cycle, etc.) or small, narrow objects such as stones or posts in your path when
manoeuvring.
In the event an impact to
the underside of the vehicle
(e.g.: striking a post, raised
kerb or other street furni -
ture) this may result in damage to
the vehicle (e.g.: twisted axle), the
electrical circuit or the traction bat -
tery.
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved dealer.
