DST SYSTEM
(Dynamic Steering Torque or steering
corrector)
The DST (steering corrector) function uses the
integration of the ESC system with the electric
power steering to increase the safety level of the
whole car.
In critical situations (understeering, oversteering,
braking with different grip conditions), through the
DST function the ESC system controls the steering
to implement an additional torque contribution
on the steering wheel, to suggest the most correct
manoeuvre to the driver.
The coordinated action of brakes and steering
increases the safety and car control feeling.
WARNING
The DST is a driving aid system and does
not replace the driver's actions while
driving the car.
ERM ELECTRONIC ROLLOVER
MITIGATION SYSTEM
(Electronic Rollover Mitigation)
The system monitors the raising tendency of the
wheels from the ground if the driver performs
extreme manoeuvres like quick steering to avoid an
obstacle, especially in poor road conditions.
If such conditions occur the system intervenes on
brakes and engine power to reduce the possibility for
the wheels to be raised from the ground.
It is not possible to avoid tendency to roll over if the
phenomenon is due to reasons such as driving on
high side gradients, collision with objects or other
vehicles.
WARNING
The performance of a car with ERM
must never be tested in imprudent
or dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver or other people
at risk.
