Active safety systems help you to avoid critical situations. Active accident prevention is intrinsic to the smart fortwo.

The electronic stability programme (esp®) is a standard feature in every smart. When the vehicle is in danger of swerving, esp® throttles the engine torque and brakes specific individual wheels in order to stabilize the car.

Hydraulic brake assist makes a decisive contribution to driving safety, too. It automatically initiates controlled emergency braking when you step on the brake pedal quickly but not firmly enough.

The anti-lock braking system (abs) with electronic brake force distribution ensures that you are able to brake and steer simultaneously in critical situations.
