What does ESC mean on a car?

[VonCooper]

ESC is the term used by General Motors for the vehicle stability control system. Many car brands have their own electronic stability control systems with different names: Volkswagen calls it ESP, Honda calls it VSA, and BMW calls it DSC, etc. While the names vary, their basic principles and functions are similar. Here are the main roles and usage scenarios of ESC: 1. It makes the car more stable and safe when changing lanes or turning, but the ESC system does not function under normal driving conditions. 2. When the ESC system is activated to correct vehicle stability, it slows down the speed, and special attention should be paid to road conditions. 3. The ESC system is only a supplementary system for the vehicle. When the car's instability exceeds physical limits, it cannot be controlled. 4. When ESC is working, there may be some noise or vibration from the brake pedal or other corresponding systems due to pressure changes in those systems.
