Electronic Stability Control
Fitment requirements only
At least optional on all variants in EU-27, plus:
Fitted standard on 85+ percent of variant sales in EU-27
11
Speed Limiting Devices
Fitment and performance requirements
Based on UN ECE R.89 with additional requirements
First step towards rewarding on-board ISA systems
