Driving Impression when ESP is Working
When ESP is applied in a certain situation (the indicator blinks
and a warning buzzer sounds), such as during a sharp turn,
you may feel that ESP controls each wheel and different lev-
els of needed braking force are applied to wheels. You may
hear some noise or feel some vibrations from the brake pedal
or other systems. They are caused by pressure changes in
relevant system. You may also notice the engine output de-
creases even when the accelerator pedal is being depressed.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) System
The Electronic Vehicle Stability Control Program (ESP) is a
supplementary driving safety system when your vehicle is un-
stably moving in a certain situation, such as during a sharp
corner. The ESP applies brakes on a certain wheel(s) or con-
trols the engine torque to compensate vehicle stability. These
actions help your vehicle avoid dangerous situations. The ESP
functions automatically, working only in very unstable
conditions; it does not operate under normal driving conditions.
If the ESP is engaged, the ESP warning light will flicker on the
instrument cluster and a warning alarm will sound.
BAS (Brake Assist System) Function
A certain driver such as a female driver, aged driver, or a
driver with a disability is unable to depress the brake pedal
as hard as necessary. When the ESP system recognizes
any emergency situations requiring hard braking, it automati-
cally delivers an extra high braking pressure to the wheels.
ARP (Active Rollover Protection) Function
This function is a part of the ESP system. When your ve-
hicle moves in an extremely unstable manner, this function
helps the vehicle maintain normal stability.
• If the ESP warning light comes on, the ESP related system is
defective. Make sure to check the vehicle at the nearest
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Service Center.
• The ESP system does not operate during reverse driving.
• The ESP system activates when the vehicle is unstable to cor-
rect the vehicle stability. When the ESP warning lamp and the
warning alarm turn on, reduce the speed and pay extra atten-
tion to the road.
• The ESP system is only a supplementary device for the vehicle.
When the vehicle exceeds its physical limits, it cannot be
controlled. Do not rely on the system. Keep driving safely.
• When ESP is applied, you may feel some noise or vibration from
the brake pedal or other relevant systems. They are caused by
pressure changes in the relevant systems.
• Do not drive off immediately after starting the engine. If you drive
off your vehicle within 2 minutes after turning the ignition switch
to “ON” position, the ESP self-diagnosis function does not operate.
In this case, the abnormal symptoms such as blinking of ESP warn-
ing lamp, alarming the buzzer, or braking the wheels may appear.
CAUTION
The ARP system more powerfully controls the engine and each
wheel than the ESP function. When the ARP is applied, a sudden
decrease of vehicle speed or powerful braking force can make
steering your vehicle a little difficult.
