Electronic Roll Mitigation

ESP® Full-On and Partial modes include an algorithm for Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM). ERM is an algorithm on top of ESP® control that is targeted toward preventing wheel lift in the NHTSA Fish Hook maneuvers. These very extreme situations are well out of normal everyday driving, but by chance a high dynamic maneuver occurs, ERM can help return vehicle stability and control to the driver. Electronic Roll Mitigation attempts to determine when a vehicle is in a position to mitigate vehicle rollover and minimize the risk by applying the appropriate braking force to reduce the likelihood that such an event will occur. This added measure is designed to aid the driver in maintaining vehicle stability during an emergency maneuver or accident avoidance situation. ERM will not aid vehicle stability in "trip" situations, such as when a vehicle slides sideways and strikes a curb, which could then cause the side opposite the curb to lift and the vehicle to roll.
