ESP* (ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM)

ESP SYSTEM?
The ESP system is an electronic vehicle-stability control and
a supplementary safety driving system that helps to avoid dan-
gerous situations by controlling the brakes on the wheels or
the engine torque to compensate vehicle stability during ex-
tremely unstable conditions such as sharp cornering.

thorized Workshop.

ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM)

ABS SYSTEM?
Braking suddenly or braking on slippery roads locks the
wheels and makes the vehicle slide forward, which is
dangerous. The ABS helps you to prevent it by maintaining
directional stability and control of the vehicle.
ABS Warning Lamp
When the ignition switch is turned "ON", this
warning lamp comes on and goes out under
normal operation.
WARNING
If this light does not come on when the ignition is switched on or
if this light does not go out, contact your nearest Ssangyong Dealer
or Ssangyong Authorized Workshop. If it lights up while driving, it
indicates an ABS malfunction.
ABS is a device that prevents wheels from locking up during
braking. However, the ABS system does not shorten the stopping
distance.
According to road conditions, the stopping distance of the vehicle
with ABS may either be longer or shorter than that of the vehicle
without ABS.
