Does the Dongfeng Renault Koleos have an ESP switch?

Dongfeng Renault Koleos does not have an ESP switch. ESP is the Electronic Stability Program, which analyzes the vehicle's driving state information from each sensor and then issues correction commands to ABS and ASR to help the vehicle maintain dynamic balance. ESP can keep the vehicle stable under various conditions, and its effect is more pronounced in cases of oversteering or understeering. The Dongfeng Renault Koleos is a regular car under the Dongfeng brand, featuring an adjustable rear seat backrest angle for increased space. In terms of body dimensions, the Renault Koleos measures 4450mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1600mm in height. For body colors, the Renault Koleos offers options such as Starry Blue, Midnight Black, Flame Red, and Pearl White.
I've been using the Dongfeng Renault Koleos for three years, and it definitely has an ESP switch hidden in the button area on the left side of the steering wheel—a small button labeled 'ESP.' I usually keep it on, especially on high-speed curves or slippery roads, as the ESP can automatically prevent skidding and control the car's posture. However, when climbing hills in deep snow, I first stop and turn it off, allowing the wheels to start more smoothly without skidding. The Koleos' ESP system is quite intelligent; it defaults to the on state for safety, and the dashboard light will illuminate as a reminder when it's turned off. A reminder to everyone: never turn off ESP on highways, as it can easily lead to loss of control when steering. Checking the ESP switch location is simple—just look for it in the button area after starting the car. I recommend novice drivers try operating it in low-speed environments first.
