Any differences in the rolling radius of the tyres can changes of direction desired by the driver, and constantly compares them cause the system to reduce engine power when this is not desired. with the actual behaviour of the vehicle. If the desired course is not being • Modifications to the vehicle (e.g. to the engine, the brake system, running maintained (for instance, if the car is starting to skid), then the ESP compen-gear or any components affecting the wheels and tyres) could affect the effi- sates automatically by braking the appropriate wheel.ciency of the ABS, EDL, ESP and TCS. The forces acting on the braked wheel bring the vehicle back to a stable condition. If the vehicle tends to oversteer, the system will act on the front wheel on the outside of the turn. Anti-lock brake system (ABS) Steering manoeuvre recommendations This is a complementary safety function included in the ESP This function aids The anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels locking during braking the driver to better stabilize the vehicle in a critical situation. For example, in ⇒page184. case of sudden braking surface with varied adherence, the vehicle will tend to destabilise its trajectory to the right or to the left. In this case the ESP recognizes the situation and helps the driver with a counter steering manoeuvre from the power steering.

The vehicle does not steer itself with this function, the driver has full control of the vehicle at all times. EDL helps the vehicle to start moving, accelerate and climb a gradient in slip- pery conditions where this may otherwise be difficult or even impossible. WARNING The system will control the revolutions of the drive wheels using the ABS • It must be remembered that ESP cannot defy the laws of physics.
