ABS SYSTEM
15)
This system, which is an integral part
of the braking system, prevents one or
more wheels from locking and slipping
in any road surface condition,
irrespective of the intensity of the
braking action, ensuring that the car
can be controlled even during
emergency braking thus optimising
stopping distances.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS
system has come into action because
the brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: this is entirely
normal with the system operating.
ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
system
15)
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the event of
tyre grip loss, helping maintain
directional control.
The system is capable of recognising
potentially dangerous situations in
terms of the stability and intervenes
automatically on the brakes in a
differentiated manner for the four
wheels in order to provide a stabilising
torque.
The ESC system also includes the
following subsystems:
❒ HH (Hill Holder): it activates
automatically when starting with car
stationary, on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%.
❒ ASR (AntiSpin Regulation):
The system automatically operates
in the event of slipping, loss of grip
on wet roads (aquaplaning) and
acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy roads, etc. on one or both drive
wheels.
