ADAPTIVE ESP™

(ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM)

Adaptive ESP™ (Electronic Stability Program)*

Picture shows pre-production model.

Details and Technology

The Adaptive ESP (Electronic Stability Program)* is comprised of the following functions: EBD (electronic brake force distribution) – This system helps to prevent the rear wheels from locking before the front wheels when braking. ABS (anti-lock braking system) – Helps to prevent the wheels from locking. ASR (acceleration skid control) – Regulates wheel spin by intervening in the engine management and by

braking the driving wheels. A deactivation switch allows engine intervention to be switched off at lower speeds and the slip threshold to be raised. BAS (Brake Assist) – If an emergency braking situation is detected, this system actively increases braking pressure up to the slip threshold. ERM (Electronic Roll Over Mitigation) – This system helps to detect rollover tendencies during manoeuvres with low road speed and high lateral acceleration. RMI (Roll Movement Intervention) – This system helps to detect rollover tendencies in dynamic manoeuvres and in high-speed evasive manoeuvres with a high lateral acceleration. LAC (Load Adaptive Control) – The system helps determine the gross vehicle weight and supports the ESP function, depending on the vehicle load. EUC (Enhanced Understeering Control) – The system helps to stabilize the vehicle in the event of heavy understeer. ESP (Electronic Stability Program) – ESP interfaces with both the brake system and the engine management. It continuously monitors the signals from the steering angle sensor, wheel speed sensors, lateral acceleration sensor and yaw sensor, allowing it to assist the driver if instability is detected. In critical situations, ESP actively intervenes in the engine management and brake system and assists the driver by generating braking forces to restore directional stability. When ESP and ASR interventions are taking place, the ESP warning light comes on in the speedometer. If acceleration skid control is deactivated by pressing the ASR-OFF switch, the ESP warning light comes on continuously. If a driving situation occurs in which instability is detected, ESP intervenes and ASR is switched back on again. At speeds over 59 km/h (37 mph), ASR is always active, i.e., if the system has been deactivated, it is automatically reactivated when the vehicle accelerates to a speed above 59 km/h (37 mph) and cannot be deactivated. When the speed falls below 59 km/h (37 mph), ASR is deactivated again and the warning light comes on. Even with ASR switched off, the ESP warning light flashes when the tires have reached their adhesion limit.

Benefits and Arguments

• Enhances active safety in certain critical situations

• Improves track-holding and directional stability by automatically adjusting for load weight.

ESP enhances safety and ride comfort in certain critical situations and coordinates and enhances the operation of ABS and ASR. Augmented by the new functions ERM, RMI, LAC and EUC, ESP provides a high level of driver assistance and increases stability in critical dynamic situations.

Remarks

Adaptive ESP is standard on all models.

*No sys tem, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physic s or overc ome careless driving actions. Per forma nce is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the ESP wa rning lamp in the instrument cluster fla shes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behaviour to prevailing road conditions. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Ple ase always wear your seat belt. ESP is a trademark of DaimlerChrysler AG.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Five-speed automatic transmission with Auto/Stick™

Details and Technology

The fully automated, electrohydraulic, five-speed transmission transfers power to the wheels via a torque converter with integrated lockup clutch. The lockup clutch minimizes power loss or slip across the torque converter and can engage in all gears, depending on engine speed and load. This system allows upshifts to be performed smoothly and almost instantaneously. Selector position P activates a parking lock. This selector position is the only position in which the ignition key can be released. The selector lever can only be moved out of position P when the brake pedal is depressed and the ignition switched on. In selector position D, the transmission always starts in first gear. The transmission control unit subsequently selects the most appropriate gears automatically, with reference to engine speed and road speed. Upwards of approximately 4 mph, it is not possible to change from D into R. When the transmission is in automatic mode (D), it is possible to limit the shift range by nudging the selector lever towards – or + (Auto/Stick feature). Each time the selector lever is nudged from position D toward –, the shift range is reduced by one gear, conditions permitting. To prevent excessive engine speeds and maintain the power flow, downshift requests which would cause the engine to overrev are not carried out. If the selector lever is pressed towards – and held, the transmission changes down by several gears, conditions permitting. Each time the selector lever is pressed toward +, the shift range moves up a gear, before finally the transmission changes to automatic mode (D). If the selector lever is pressed toward + and held, the transmission changes to automatic mode and shifts accordingly. Ratios: 1st gear, 3.59; 2nd gear, 2.18; 3rd gear, 1.40; 4th gear, 1.00; 5th gear, 0.83; Overall ratio 4.32; Reverse gear 3.16.

Benefits and Arguments

• Smooth shifting

• Long service life and high reliability

• Low maintenance costs

• Low fuel consumption

Features of the five-speed automatic transmission include smooth shifting, well-spaced ratios, long life, high reliability, low maintenance costs.
