Should the Vehicle Stability System Be Kept On Normally?
1 Answers
It is recommended to keep the Vehicle Stability System (VSS) normally activated. 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. The ESP system consists of a control unit and sensors such as steering sensors, wheel sensors, skid sensors, and lateral acceleration sensors. The vehicle stability system can prevent dangers when the car is turning, but it is advised not to activate the stability system under the following circumstances: 1. If pursuing vehicle handling sensations, it is not recommended to activate it, as it becomes difficult to perform maneuvers like drifting or oversteering when the system is on; 2. During vehicle inspection on the testing line, the stability system should be turned off. During the test, most front-wheel-drive vehicles have only two wheels moving, and the system might interpret this as wheel slip and intervene, which could affect the inspection results.
