ESC in a car refers to the Electronic Stability Control system, also known as the Driving Safety Supplement System. It is an active safety device in the vehicle's configuration. This system is an extension of the ABS and TBS functions, adding a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor to monitor the vehicle's movement during turns. Through the ECU, it controls the driving and braking forces of the front, rear, left, and right wheels to ensure lateral stability. The ESC consists of three main parts: sensors, an electronic control unit, and actuators. Its working principle involves the electronic control unit monitoring the vehicle's operating status and intervening in the engine and braking system.

How to Solve High Fuel Consumption in Old Tiida?

Avoid sudden acceleration and refrain from flooring the throttle to improve driving habits. Gently press the accelerator pedal and gradually increase speed. When the car reaches a certain gear speed, shift from low to high gears smoothly following the engine's startup sound. If the throttle is suddenly released, it will cause the engine speed to drop sharply, leading to a drag effect as the car tries to counteract the inertia generated during driving.

How to Deal with High Fuel Consumption in Cars?

First, regularly check the tire pressure to ensure it is at the normal level. Use the lowest viscosity engine oil. The lower the viscosity of the engine oil, the less effort the engine requires, leading to better fuel efficiency. Engine damage can reduce the engine's efficiency, resulting in wasted gasoline. Dents on the car body can increase the aerodynamic resistance encountered while driving.
