About ESP Switch
A vehicle’s DS4 CitroenESP switch is an important component which operates the car’s electronic stability programme. The electronic stability programme is designed to intervene in the event that its sensors detect that the vehicle is about to skid. It does this by detecting whether the direction in which the driver is steering corresponds with the direction the car is taking.
The intervention of an electronic stability programme, which operates through a microcomputer which receives signals from a set of sensors, can take two forms. Firstly, it utilises the car’s brakes to return the car to the track that it should be taking. Secondly, it can work on the vehicles engine output to cause the wheels to accelerate. Both of these interventions can be made independently of the input of the vehicle’s driver.
The DS4 CitroenESP switch in most vehicles is permanently switched on, meaning that the protection against skidding that is provided by the system is always active. ESP is particularly helpful on greasy roads and in snow and ice.
Because of the beneficial effects of an electronic stability programme on the safety and stability of a car in adverse weather conditions, if the DS4 CitroenESP switch should fail to operate it should be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Citroen trivia
- John Lennon appeared in an advert for the Citroën DS3, many years after his death. The advert caused quite a lot of public criticism for Yoko Ono, who agreed to the musician's likeness being used.
- Buying Maserati was definitely a mistake for Citroën. The SM model didn't sell well, and that led to financial difficulties that meant the car company was eventually acquired by Peugeot.
- Thanks to Citroën, the French driver Sebastien Loeb is the single most successful driver in the entire history of the World Rallying Championship. Nine consecutive driver's titles were won by Loeb in the time between 2004 and 2012, driving cars such as the Xsara, the C4, and the DS3.
- If you went into a Citroën showroom in the 20s, there's a good chance that you would have been given a letter that was personally handwritten by Andre Citroën himself, proclaiming the benefits of the car models. This one act of marketing genius is credited with being responsible for thousands of closed sales.
- In 1968, Citroën bought control of the Italian car firm Maserati. That purchase led to the design of the Citroën GT, which came with hydro-pneumatic suspension and a V6 engine. It did well in terms of sales, but production of the last version, the DS23 Pallas Electronique, was stopped in 1975 after the '73 oil crisis.
