Basic Knowledge ... Mercedes-Benz E.S.P.

E.S.P. ...... Electronic Stability Program

here I will like to share with you all ...

about the Mercedes-Benz E.S.P.system

I think is Good For the Benzer to refer ...

the E.S.P. ...... Electronic Stability Program ...

(Lastest M/Benz Model are Standard equipped with this system)

is an active safety system which improves vehicle stability in all driving situation.

It operates by actuating the brakes individually on one or more wheels on the front and the rear axle.

ESP stabilizes the vehicle when cornerring,

when braking or when coasting without power

and holds it reliably in track.

ESP complements the familiar functions of the ABS,ASRand the EBR

ABS... Anti-lock Brake System

prevents the wheels from locking up during the braking and thus maintains

the steerability and directional control of the vehicle during deceleration.

ASR ... Acceleration slip Regulation

prevents the drive wheels from spinning while driving.

it also improves directional control with better traction across the entire speed range.

EBR ... Engine Braking Regulation

reduces brake slip at the drive wheels during deceleration and ensures direction control.

ESP ... Electronic Stability Program

prevents the vehicle from breaking away when it is oversteered or understeered.

In all situations it ensures that the vehicle does not

deviate fromthe corse specified by the driver

(within the bounds of physical limits)

Brake forces are produced selectively at the individual wheels to correct this.

Advantages of ESP

. Improves moving-off and acceleration capabilities by increasing traction,

specially useful on road surfaces with different levels of grip and when cornerring.

. Improves activee dynamic safety, since only a wheel which is not spinning

can provide optimum traction with no loss of lateral stability.

. Automatically adapts the engine torque to respective wheel-to-road-surface

traction possibilities if the driver accelerates too heavily.

. Reduces the risk of skidding under all road conditions by

automatically stabilizing the vehicle when braking,

accelerating or coasting smoothly.

. significantly improves the directiona, stability of the vehicle

when cornerring-up to the limit range.

. Shortens the stopping distance in corners or on slippery roads.

The ESP control module recieves input signals from the ...

. 4 wheels speed sensors

. Steering angle sensor

. Lateral acceleralation sensor

. Yaw rate sensor

. ESP brake pressure sensors

. Stop lamp switch

. Parking brake switch

. ME control module over CAN data line (ECU)

. ETC control module over CAN data line (EGS)

. ESP OFF switch

. BAS release switch

. BAS diaphragm travel sensor

On the basis of Input signals, The ESP control module

decides which of the 7 operating modes

1) Normal Operation

2) ABS control mode

3) ASR control mode

4) EBR control mode

5) ESP control mode

6) ESP OFF mode

7) BAS mode

must be activated .....

ADDITIONAL DRIVER INFORMATION

the BAS/ESP indicator lamp

may light up when the vehicle is being driven and then go out again after a while.

This is caused by BATTERY undervoltage or overvoltage.

hope this helps ....

ESP is not a standard in Mercedes Benz for yr infro.

I find it hard to believe when U told me some time back till I saw 1 of our Bro's ride without ESP

Ya u are not alone too. For yr infro, e cabrio Aircap is not a standard too!!

Bro Hwee,

U MIA long time!

Thought U got send back & got captured by Talebans!

Good! Good! U still around!

Cum this mth GTG hor!
