ESP should be turned on in snowy weather. Introduction to ESP: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is a general term for systems or programs designed to enhance vehicle handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the vehicle reaches its dynamic limits. The electronic stability program can improve vehicle safety and handling. How ESP works: Under certain road conditions and vehicle load conditions, the maximum adhesion force that the wheels can provide is a fixed value. That is, in extreme situations, the longitudinal force (along the rolling direction of the wheel) and the lateral force (perpendicular to the rolling direction of the wheel) acting on the wheel have a trade-off relationship. The electronic stability program can independently control the longitudinal braking force of each wheel, thereby influencing the lateral force and improving the vehicle's handling performance.

How Many Keys Does a Keyless Start Car Have?

Keyless start cars typically come with two keys. Vehicles equipped with a keyless start function generally do not require inserting a key, but they still have a key insertion slot. This is designed to allow the use of a key for starting in case the keyless start function malfunctions. Under normal circumstances, the smart key also includes a traditional key with teeth or grooves, which can be used for mechanical starting if the keyless start feature fails. The keyless start system is a part of smart car technology, serving as a button device that simplifies the ignition process and can also be used to turn off the engine. This system can be retrofitted either at the original key lock position or as an independent panel installation.
