Driver Steering Recommendation (DSR) is a feature of the Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) system on several Volkswagen Group car models, including the SEAT León Mk2 (Typ 1P),[1] Volkswagen Golf Plus,[1] and Volkswagen Scirocco.[2] The system is supplied by Continental Automotive Systems.[1]
Sensors detect when the car is starting to skid, and the steering's electronic control unit (ECU) provides a prompt to the driver to correct the problem by making the steering wheel move slightly. Since most drivers find the idea of a car steering itself troubling, VW Group stresses that the robotic nudge is merely a suggestion, which the driver is free to override.
