Chrysler’s ESP to become standard on all models by end of 2006

Chrysler has announced yesterday that by the end of this year, Electronic Stability Control (Chrysler calls it ESP — Electronic Stability Program) will be standard equipment on all Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep brand sport-utility vehicles and will be standard or available on over 70 percent of Chrysler Group models.

Exactly what does Electronic Stability Program do? According to the automaker, it enhances driver control and helps maintain directional stability under all conditions. Aside from that, it also provides the greatest benefit in critical driving situations, such as turns, and is especially valuable when driving on slippery surface conditions, such as patchy snow, ice or gravel. If there's a discernible difference between what the driver asks through the steering and the vehicle's path, ESP applies selective braking and throttle input to put the car back onto the driver's intended path. The system is calibrated to offer safe control of the vehicle under a variety of conditions, and to operate in a manner that is not intrusive in normal or spirited driving.

Among the vehicles with the ESP system are the 2006 Chrysler 300 and Crossfire; Dodge Charger, Durango, Magnum and Sprinter; and Jeep Commander, Grand Cherokee and Liberty. ESP will soon be offered on the 2007 Chrysler Aspen; Dodge Caliber and Nitro; and Jeep Compass, Patriot and Wrangler as well as on other vehicles to be announced at a later date.

Meanwhile, quality auto parts for these vehicles are available at Auto Parts Inner.
