What Does Esc Mean in a Car?
1 Answers
Esc in a car refers to the Electronic Stability Control system. The Esc button is the switch for the Electronic Stability Control system. When the Esc is activated, pressing and holding the Esc button can deactivate the Electronic Stability Control system. The Vehicle Stability Control system is an active safety system developed by Toyota, which significantly enhances vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. In emergencies such as sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking, the system can quickly detect the situation and apply appropriate braking measures, controlling each tire individually while reducing engine output to maintain vehicle stability. The stability control system utilizes this technology along with its sensors and computational control unit. The control unit continuously monitors and processes signals from the steering system, wheels, and vehicle body sensors to determine if the vehicle is skidding during a turn.
