How to turn off the ESP in Volkswagen Polo?
1 Answers
Method to turn off the ESP in Volkswagen Polo: The ESP setting switch is located on the central control screen, marked with a "car skid prevention" icon. This function is enabled by default from the factory. Press the button to turn it off. The ESP can be temporarily turned off in the following situations: 1. When the vehicle is stuck in mud: ESP reduces some power output, which may result in insufficient torque for the vehicle to escape. 2. During extreme driving: Actions such as drifting around drainage channels or performing a launch start require appropriate slip rates, and ESP prevents the tires from slipping when active. 3. On deep snow-covered roads: The friction coefficient on snow-covered roads is low, and the tire friction resistance is already reduced. If the ESP continues to intervene, it may make it even harder for the wheels to escape. Note: On roads where the snow has just begun to melt, the ESP must be turned on, otherwise the vehicle may skid more severely. 4. When snow chains are installed on the tires: Changes in the tire's outer diameter may cause the sensors to misinterpret the tire's condition.
