PROGRAMME (ESP)
In exceptional conditions (starting the
vehicle when it is stuck in the mud,
immobilised in snow, on unstable
ground...), it may be advisable to dis-
arm the ESP.
Press the "ESP OFF" switch, lo-
cated on the centre console.
The switch lights up and the warning
light comes on: the ESP no longer acts
on the operation of the engine.
Press one of the spokes of the steering
wheel.
This system is linked and complemen-
tary to the ABS system.
In the event of a significant variation
between the trajectory of the vehicle
and the path required by the driver,
the ESP monitors wheel by wheel and
acts automatically on the engine and
on the brake of one or more wheels, to
put the vehicle back on course, within
the limit of the laws of physics.
