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 to maintain direc-
tional control.

The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when grip
conditions of road surfaces change.

The MSR system (adjustment of the engine braking torque
during gear downshifts) and the HBA system (automatic
increase in the braking pressure during emergency brak-
ing) are present with ESP, ASR and Hill Holder systems
(for versions/markets where provided).

SYSTEM INTERVENTION

This is signalled by the flashing of warning light

in the in-

strument panel, to inform the driver that the vehicle is in
critical stability and grip conditions.

SYSTEM ACTIVATION

The ESP system is automatically activated when the vehi-
cle is started and cannot be de-activated.

BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistance
integrated in ESP)
(for versions/markets where provided)

This system (which cannot be deactivated) recognises
emergency braking conditions according to the speed of
operation of the brake pedal and provides an additional
hydraulic braking pressure to support that provided by the
driver. This allows faster and more powerful operation
of the braking system.

Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions equipped with
ESP, in the event of ESP system failure (indicated by warn-
ing light

coming on together with the message in the

multifunction display, where provided).

When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your

foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
