SAFETY 77
In critical situations (braking with different grip
conditions), through the DST function the ESC
system controls the steering to implement an
additional torque contribution on the steering
wheel, to suggest the most correct maneuver to
the driver.
The coordinated action of brakes and steering
increases the safety and vehicle control feeling.
NOTE:
DST is a driving aid system and does not replace
the driver's actions while driving the vehicle.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) anticipates the
potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver’s
steering wheel input and the speed of the
vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate of
change of the steering wheel angle and
vehicle's speed are sufficient to potentially
cause wheel lift, it then applies the appropriate
brake and may also reduce engine power to
lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur. ERM
will only intervene during very severe or evasive
driving maneuvers.
ERM can only reduce the chance of wheel lift
occurring during severe or evasive driving
maneuvers. It cannot prevent wheel lift due to
other factors, such as road conditions, leaving
the roadway, or striking objects or other vehi-
cles.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
This Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system
enhances directional control and stability of the
vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC
corrects for oversteering or understeering of the
vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate
wheel to assist in counteracting the over-
steering or understeering condition. Engine
power may also be reduced to help the vehicle
maintain the desired path. ESC uses sensors in
the vehicle to determine the vehicle path
intended by the driver and compares it to the
actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path
does not match the intended path, ESC applies
the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in
counteracting the oversteer or understeer
condition.
Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more
than appropriate for the steering wheel
position.
Understeer - when the vehicle is turning
less than appropriate for the steering
wheel position.
WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road
conditions, and driving conditions, influence
the chance that wheel lift or rollover may
occur. ERM cannot prevent all wheel lift or
rollovers, especially those that involve
leaving the roadway or striking objects or
other vehicles. The capabilities of an
ERM-equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner,
which could jeopardize the user's safety or
the safety of others.
