Electronic Stability Program (Esp ® ) - Suzuki Jimny 2022 Manual

Electronic Stability Program
®
(ESP )
®
ESP is a registered trademark
Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP
helps to control the vehicle during corner-
ing if front wheels or rear wheels skid. It
also assists you in maintaining traction
while accelerating on loose or slippery
road surfaces. It does this by regulating
the engine's output, and by selectively
applying the brakes. In addition, ESP
helps to avoid skidding by controlling brak-
ing pressure.
WARNING
®
The ESP cannot enhance the vehi-
cle's driving stability in all situations
and does not control your vehicle's
®
entire braking system. The ESP
not prevent accidents, including
those resulting from excessive speed
in turns, or hydroplaning. Only safe
and attentive drive can prevent acci-
dents.
®
The capabilities of an ESP -equipped
vehicle must never be used as a sub-
stitute for careful driving.
CAUTION
• Observe the following points. Oth-
®
erwise, ESP may not operate
of

The ESP has the following systems:
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
Refer to "Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)" in
this section.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Brake Assist System
Refer to "Brake Assist System" in this sec-
tion.
Traction Control System
The traction control system automatically
helps prevent the spinning of wheels when
the vehicle is started or accelerated on
slippery road surfaces. The system oper-
ates only if it senses that some of the
wheels are spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens, the system
operates the front or rear brakes and
reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
NOTE:
You may hear an operation sound when
you start the engine or after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the
above systems are in the self-check mode.
This sound does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
