ESP^TM WITH ERM

Electronic Stability Program (ESP^TM)* constantly compares the driver's intended course with the vehicle's actual course and detects differences, applying the brakes to individual wheels and controlling engine power to help keep the vehicle on its intended path.

* No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the instrument cluster flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Please always wear your seatbelt.

This high-performance cloth seat fabric is stain-resistant, inhibits the growth of odour-producing bacteria, and eliminates static shock caused by sliding across the seats, allowing spills and even ground-in material to be cleaned up more easily.
