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.
HBA SYSTEM
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. If the ESC system is faulty, the
system is disabled.
DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque)
The DST function uses the integration of the ESC
system with the electric power steering to increase
the safety level of the whole car.
In critical situations (understeering, oversteering,
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
manoeuvre to the driver.
The coordinated action of brakes and steering
increases the safety and car control feeling.
WARNING
The DST is a driving aid system and does
not replace the driver's actions while
driving the car.
ERM ELECTRONIC ROLLOVER
MITIGATION SYSTEM
(Electronic Rollover Mitigation)
The system monitors the raising tendency of the
wheels from the ground if the driver performs
extreme manoeuvres like quick steering to avoid an
obstacle, especially in poor road conditions.
If such conditions occur the system intervenes on
brakes and engine power to reduce the possibility for
the wheels to be raised from the ground.
It is not possible to avoid tendency to roll over if the
phenomenon is due to reasons such as driving on
high side gradients, collision with objects or other
vehicles.
WARNING
The performance of a car with ERM
must never be tested in imprudent
or dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other people
at risk.
