Esp System - SSANGYONG NEW CHAIRMAN Owner's Manual

ESP SYSTEM

The ESP system is an electronic vehicle stability control sys-
tem and driving safety supplementary system that helps to
avoid dangerous situations by applying brakes on the wheels
or the engine torque to compensate vehicle stability when it
is extremely unstable under conditions such as sharp
cornering. This system also includes brake assist function
for the handicapped persons because they depress the brake
pedal softly even when hard braking is required. If the sys-
tem recognizes that it is an emergency case requires hard
braking, it delivers high braking pressure to the wheels. The
ESP function works when vehicle stability is very unstable.
The ESP system does not work under normal driving
conditions. However, you can check the ESP operation with
flickering ESP warning lamp on the instrument panel and
warning alarm sounds.
ESP Warning Lamp and Warning Alarm During
ESP Operations
When the ESP is operating, the ESP warning lamp on the
instrument panel flickers and warning alarm sounds to warn
the driver. When the ESP operation stops, the ESP warning
lamp goes off. The ESP warning lamp flickers at least 4 times
even when the ESP system activates for a very short period
of time. This means the ESP system activates when the ve-
hicle is unstable to correct the vehicle stability. When the Esp
warning lamp and the warning alarm turn on, reduce the
speed and pay extra attention to the road.

Stopping ESP Function With ESP OFF Switch
When the ESP switch is pushed once, the ESP function stops
and the vehicle is driven independently from the sensor
outputs. At this moment, the ESP warning lamp on the instru-
ment panel comes on and the ESP (vehicle stability control)
function will be cancelled. However, the ABS works normally.
Resuming ESP Function With ESP OFF Switch
If you push the ESP OFF switch again when the ESP function is
released (when ESP warning lamp is turned on), the system
will be resumed and the ESP warning lamp on the instrument
panel goes out by resuming the ESP system.
CAUTION
The ESP system turns off when the ignition is turned off. It will
resume when the engine is started again.
If the vehicle is controlled by ESP during driving, the ESP OFF switch
will not work.
If the ESP warning lamp comes on, the ESP related system is
defective. At this moment, the ABS works in a basic way.
However, make sure to check the vehicle at the nearest
Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Workshop.
If the ESP warning lamp and the ABS warning lamp come on
simultaneously, both ESP and ABS system are not working. Do not
over speed your vehicle and be sure to check or repair the vehicle at
the nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong Authorized Workshop.
If the ESP warning light flickers and the alarm sounds, it means
that the vehicle stability is controlled by the ESP function when
vehicle stability is extremely unstable. In this situation, drive the
vehicle with maximum safety.
If the ESP activates while vehicle is running, the ESP warning lamp
on the instrument panel flickers and alarm sounds at 0.1 second
intervals.
