The ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) is an electronic dynamics programme (EDP). It stabilizes the vehicle when oversteering or understeering. The ESP works over the whole speed range. If the ESP is regulating the system the ESP warning lamp will flash 3 times per second.

The ESP is a further extension of the familiar vehicle safety systems.

ESP increases control over the vehicle in critical situations. It reduces the danger of skidding and increases the steering control when compared with familiar vehicle safety systems.
