Is 'off' on a car turned on or off?
1 Answers
'Off' on a car represents 'off' (turned off), while 'on' represents 'on' (turned on). The 'off' light on a car mainly refers to the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) off. ESP stands for the vehicle stability control system, which is an active safety device primarily designed to prevent the risk of vehicle skidding and fishtailing. Situations where ESP should be turned off include: 1. When the vehicle is stuck in mud, snow, or sand, and the wheels are not turning, making it impossible to get out under normal driving conditions; 2. When there is a change in wheel size or when snow chains are installed; 3. When off-roading on snowy or muddy terrain; 4. During extreme drifting or lap time attempts. Methods to turn off ESP are: 1. Briefly press the button to turn off the ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) function of ESP; 2. Press and hold the button for more than 3 seconds to simultaneously turn off both the ASR and VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) functions of ESP; 3. Press the button again to reactivate the ASR and VDC functions.
