What does ESP-OFF represent?
1 Answers
ESP-OFF refers to the switch for turning off the Electronic Stability Program. The ESP-OFF switch can be found on the center console. Although different car models may have varying names for it, the symbol is relatively standardized. Below is more information about ESP: 1. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, a system equipped in many vehicles. However, the naming may differ among brands and technical providers. For example, Honda calls it VSA, Toyota calls it VSC, Nissan calls it VDC, and BMW calls it DSC. Despite the different names, the working principles are similar. 2. ESP is an active safety feature. In simple terms, its working principle is that when the speed difference between the left and right wheels exceeds the threshold set by the computer, the computer will determine that the vehicle is experiencing side slip or tail swing. It will then take appropriate actions, such as applying brake force to a single wheel and reducing engine output torque (controlling engine speed), to control and prevent the vehicle from skidding or swinging.
