Electronic Stability Program
WARNING
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to drive with duecare and attention. Failure to do socould result in loss of vehicle control,personal injury or death.
Without ESPA
With ESPB
The system supports stability when yourvehicle starts to slide away from yourintended path. The system performs thisby braking individual wheels and reducingengine torque as required.
The system also provides an enhancedtraction control function by reducingengine torque if the wheels spin when youaccelerate. This improves your ability topull away on slippery roads or loosesurfaces, and improves comfort by limitingwheel spin in hairpin bends.
Stability Control Warning Lamp
While driving, it flashes when the systemis operating. See Warning Lamps andIndicators (page 58).
USING STABILITY CONTROL
Note:The system automatically switcheson every time you switch the ignition on.
You can switch the system on and off usingthe information display. See GeneralInformation (page 63).
