ESP (Electronic Stability Program)

ESP function
ESP covers the functions of ABS, EBD, TCS, VDC, EBA, RMI, HAS,
AUTO HOLD, ATS and HOC.
When the ESP is enabled, ESP indicator will blink on the instrument
cluster. You may hear some noise or feel the vibration of brake pedal, it
is a normal phenomenon. When the ignition switch is placed in "ON"
position, ESP indicator (yellow)
3 seconds. In normal driving conditions, ESP indicator keeps off, and ESP
is in monitoring state. When the ESP indicator blinks, it indicates ESP is
operating. You may hear some noise or feel the operation vibration of
brake pedal, it is a normal phenomenon. In case of ESP failure, ESP
indicator will stay on. Please take the vehicle to our Service Dealer for
ESP inspection.
ESP can be turned off with ESP OFF switch
turned off, the "ESP OFF Indicator Lamp (yellow)"
and only ABS and EBD functions are available.
EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribution)
EBD automatically detects the grip conditions between wheels and
ground, distributes the brake force optimally to 4 wheels, so as to
improve brake efficiency and driving stability.

TCS (Traction Control System)
TCS automatically controls the driving force at the start-off and
acceleration to prevent wheels from spinning, so as to maintain the
driving stability.
VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control)
VDC is an advanced computer system, which can help you to control
the vehicle driving direction in severe driving conditions. When the
computer detects the deviation between the expected driving route and
the actual driving direction, VDC system may selectively apply brake
pressure on one or more brakes of the vehicle so as to keep the vehicle
driving in the direction commanded.
EBA (Electronic Brake Assist)
In case of an emergency, the force applied by a driver on the brake pedal
is usually insufficient. EBA can identify this rapid action with insufficient
force on the brake pedal and automatically establishes a brake pressure
up to the lock level to shorten the brake distance greatly.
RMI (Roll Movement Intervention)
RMI can identify the vehicle rollover trend as early as possible by
monitoring the turning angle of steering wheel and lateral acceleration,
and apply braking to one or more wheels to prevent the rollover to the
greatest extent.
