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.
