Should ESP be kept on or off normally?
1 Answers
ESP is normally kept on. Under normal driving conditions or on regular roads, drivers should not easily turn off this system. ESP analyzes vehicle driving state information from various sensors and then sends correction commands to systems like ABS and EBD to help maintain the vehicle's dynamic balance. ESP enhances active safety by keeping the vehicle's direction and tracking within controllable limits. This feature intervenes at the vehicle's limits, which is why ESP is typically turned off during track racing. However, drivers should not casually disable this system, as it ensures the vehicle does not completely lose control during emergency maneuvers or on slippery roads.
