Default What is the difference between ASR & ESP ?

ESP is Electronic Stabilization Program
ASR is Traction control

If I understand correctly, it's something like this ?

ASR reduces throttle to reduce wheel spin, whereas ESP applies the brakes to reduce wheel spin ?

Is this correct ?

Default I think ASR is wheel slip only. No extras...

Open to corrections. -Pete

Default ASR = Wheel Spin (Either by brakes, power reduction or both)

ESP is Stability control and monitors over and understeer. It corrects using the same methods as traction control.
