Active Safety Systems: ESP
ESP: Electronic Stability Program:
Increases stability when cornering by helping to control oversteer and understeer.

In this simulation the vehicle on the right shows what could happen when the vehicle without ESP takes extreme evasive action.

ESP applies the brakes momentarily to any one wheel to correct oversteer or understeer, based on signals from several sensors, including yaw and wheel speed. Designed to restore vehicle stability in the event of incipient skids, ESP works under all conditions - during acceleration, coasting or braking.
