ABS, EBD, EBA and ESP with ASR Traction Control
To give the Citroën C5 impeccable road handling and ensure the safety of the occupants in all circumstances, the C5 is fitted with ESP offering increased computing power.
In difficult situations, a full range of electronic driving aids take immediate action.
ABS and electronic brake force distribution (EBD) are completed by emergency braking assistance to further reduce the stopping distance. In the event of a loss of grip, ESP automatically puts the car back on course and limits skidding of the wheels by means of the ASR traction-control system.
The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) function relies on steering sensors to detect the first signs of understeering or oversteering. The new, more powerful control unit sends out a command to correct the understeering or oversteering, applying adequate brake power on one or more wheels as required. In this way, the vehicle's course is corrected with greater precision and accuracy.
