The ESP supports stability when the<br />
vehicle starts to slide away from your<br />
intended path. This is performed by<br />
braking individual wheels and<br />
reducing engine torque as needed.<br />

The system also provides an<br />
enhanced traction control function<br />
by reducing engine torque if the<br />
wheels spin when you accelerate.<br />
This improves your ability to pull away<br />
on slippery roads or loose surfaces,<br />
and improves comfort by limiting<br />
wheel spin in hairpin bends.<br />

Emergency brake assist<br />
WARNING<br />
Emergency brake assist does<br />
not relieve you of your<br />
responsibility to drive with due care<br />
and attention.<br />
Emergency brake assist will detect<br />
when you brake heavily by measuring<br />
the rate at which you press the brake<br />
pedal. It will provide maximum<br />
braking efficiency as long as you<br />
press the pedal. Emergency brake<br />
assist can reduce stopping distances<br />
in critical situations.<br />
