intervenes, noises may be heard from
the system.This is normal. In any case, keep the
brake pedal firmly depressed while braking.
ESC SYSTEM (Electronic Stability
Control)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls car stability
in the event of tyre grip loss, helping maintain
directional control. The system is capable of
recognising potentially dangerous situations in terms
of the stability and intervenes automatically on the
brakes in a differentiated manner for the four wheels
in order to provide a stabilising torque.
The ESC system also includes the following
subsystems:
❒ Hill Holder
❒ ASR
❒ Brake Assist
❒ MSR
❒ HBA
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the flashing of the ESC warning light
on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that
the car is in critical stability and grip conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system switches on automatically when the
engine is started and cannot be switched off.
