ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
WARN ING!
This system enhances directional control and stability of
the vehicle und er variou s driving cond itions. ESP cor-
rects for over/ und er steering of the vehicle by applying
the brake of the approp riate wheel to assist in counter- 3
acting the over/ und er steer cond ition. Engine power
may also be red uced to help the vehicle maintain the
desired path. ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determ ine
the vehicle path intend ed by the driver and compares it
to the actu al path of the vehicle. When the actu al path
does not match the intend ed path, ESP applies the brake
of the approp riate wheel to assist in counteracting the
oversteer or und ersteer cond ition.
