The introduction of an extended ESP package for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter from January 2012 will improve brake performance in critical situations and enhance the safety of passengers and other road users, Daimler said.

Adaptive ESP 9i replaces 8.1 and again takes the vehicle load into account. Depending on the weight and the position of the vehicle’s centre of gravity, the ESP sensors ascertain the vehicle load at any given time; this ensures ESP can stabilise the vehicle with individually modulated intervention action.

This new ESP system will also intervene selectively if a trailer begins to sway, thus helping drivers to stabilise their vehicle and trailer combination.

ESP 9i has two important additional functionalities: brake disc wipe and electronic brake prefill.

The latter also reduces stopping distance which, depending on the circumstances, will either avoid an accident or diminish its severity.
