Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) Bosch 5.3


The Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) is a driving dynamics regulation system. It stabilizes the vehicle both in understeer and oversteer situations.

ESP is an additional extension of the well known driving safety systems ABS/EDL and ABS/EDL/ASR.

ESP increases the ability to control the vehicle during critical driving situations. It reduces the likelihood of skidding relative to the well-known safety systems and improves steering control.

It can only function within physical limits.
