Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
General Information
The ESP Premium has the following features:
- ABS - Anti-lock braking system
- ASR (Anti-Slip Regulations)
- EBD - Electronic brake pressure distribution
- EDL - Electronic differential lock
- ESP - Electronic stabilization program
- HBA - Hydraulic brake assist
- MSR - Engine drag torque regulation
- Emergency braking signal
- Brake rotor wiper
- Trailer stabilization
- Brake pressure reducing valve in the rear axle to prevent the rear wheels from blocking.
The brake system is distributed diagonally. The vacuum brake servo unit boosts the brakes pneumatically.
ABS malfunctions do not affect the brake system and the booster. Conventional brake system stays operative even without ABS. A change in braking behavior must be checked.
Malfunction sources are reduced by direct connection of components named. The components are replaced instead of repaired.
