BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking
assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The system, which cannot be turned off, recognises
emergency braking (on the basis of the brake
pedal operating speed) and speeds up the response
of the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP system
failure, indicated by warning light
coming on
together with the message on the display.
ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability
Program)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls vehicle
stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping
maintain directional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful
when the grip conditions of road surfaces change.
With the ESP, the car is provided with ASR
(traction control with interventions on brakes and
engine), HILL HOLDER (device for starting on
gradients without using the brakes), MSR (control
of engine braking torque when shifting gear down)
and HBA (automatic increase of braking pressure in
the case of emergency braking).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light
on the instrument panel, to inform the driver
that the car is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESP system comes on automatically when the
vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.
