Peugeot 308THP comes with Dynamic Stability Control, but what actually it does, and how is it different from ABS, EBD and traction control?
Dynamic Stability Control helps keep the car in control during a skid or slide. It uses sensors to determine when the vehicle starts to veer off its path by looking at the steering input from the driver and the actual path of the vehicle. After sensing a skid, the onboard computer can apply the ABS and EBD to one or all of the wheels to keep the car pointed in the intended direction. It may also cut engine power if the computer determines it will keep the vehicle in control. In other words the Dynamic Stability Control enhances the ABS and EBD.
myPeugeot 308 has Traction Control as well. In contrast to Dynamic Stability Control, Traction Control limits wheelspin during acceleration - in a way it behaves like limited slip differential, but at an expense of loosing some bhp because the former is applying the antilock brakes reversal to the drive wheels when slip is detected. Just like stability control, it cuts engine power if driver gets spirited or overzealous with the throttle on slippery surface.
myPeugeot 308 also has EBA. EBA stands for Emergency Brake Assist. EBA technology is different from an ABS or EBD. EBA recognizes when a panic braking is applied (a quick shift from accelerator to brake pedal) and will apply additional brake pressure to help shorten the stopping distance. It may also work in conjunction Dynamic Stability Control system if it senses a potential collision.

The PUG 308 THP also has CBC - Cornering Brake Control... if you didn't know...
is it true that Malaysia importing Hummer now? just asking...
Alan,
I think it is "Stability Program". It works on slipery corners. I love it.
Ijo,
I don't think Malaysians prefer big, bulky and ugly American cars. Japanese ppl don't like American cars too, except IF exist, the Knight Rider.
Uncle D, do u know how the ESP on the 308 function and if u dun mind explaining it briefly for my info. The reason that i'm asking is bcos there isnt any explaination in the 308 brochures to explain it unlike for DSC,ASR,EBA & wat not. TQ
hasnul,
"BOSCH Electronic Stability Program" or ESP is the same as Dynamic Stability control as I briefly explained in my post - it is just a different terminology used by different car manufacturer. Both are actually "Electronic Stability Control" .
U can read more about it at the following:
