conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving
off makes it possible to obtain better traction.
WARNING
For the ESC and ASR systems to function
correctly, all four tyres must, above all,
be the type, brand and size prescribed, of the
same brand and type, and must be in excellent
condition.
WARNING
The ESC functions even when the
space-saver wheel is being used. Always
remember that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel, provides less
grip.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with the ESC and
ASR systems.Your driving style must always be
suited to the road conditions, visibility and
traffic.The driver is always responsible for road
safety.
BRAKE ASSIST
The system, which cannot be turned off, recognises
emergency braking (on the basis of the brake pedal
operating speed) and speeds up the response of
the braking system. The Brake Assist device is
deactivated if there is a ESC system failure.
MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment Regelung)
This system is an integral part of the ABS, that
intervenes, if there is sudden downshifting, restoring
torque to the engine, thereby preventing excessive
drive at the drive wheels which, especially in poor
grip conditions, could lead to a loss in stability of the
car.
