Should the vehicle's ESP system be turned on when it snows?

It is recommended to keep the vehicle's ESP system turned on during snowy days. The role of the vehicle's ESP system: The ESP function of the vehicle is turned on by default. When the car is driving on high-speed curved sections, if the front wheels, which have driving and steering functions, slip, the vehicle's stability control system will come into play. The ESP will automatically brake the car's wheels and intervene in the engine management system to prevent the car from skidding or losing control, providing a safety guarantee. The car stability system consists of the ESP electronic control unit, wheel speed sensor, steering wheel sensor, yaw motion sensor, and engine ECU, which is one of the most important safety configurations on a car. If this function is not needed during use, it can be temporarily turned off by pressing the control switch. Generally, situations where the ESP function needs to be turned off include: When the vehicle needs to drift, when the vehicle is stuck in mud and needs to escape, or when the vehicle is climbing a slope in snowy conditions.
