Electronic stability control (ESC)
Definitions
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
This system improves the stability and
manoeuvrabilityofyourvehiclewhenbraking
and contributes towards improved control on
corners, in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
TheASRsystem(alsoknownasTraction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit

wheelsandontheengine.Italsoimproves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
