What does OFF mean?

OFF is generally the button to turn off the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system. This system is enabled by default, and pressing and holding this button can deactivate it. Introduction to Vehicle Stability Control System: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is an anti-skid device that can control both drive wheels and driven wheels, incorporating ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation). The ESP system is essentially a traction control system, but unlike other traction control systems, ESP can manage both drive and driven wheels. For example, in rear-wheel-drive vehicles prone to oversteering, where the rear wheels lose control and cause the car to fishtail, ESP will brake the outer front wheel to stabilize the vehicle. In cases of understeering, to correct the tracking direction, ESP will brake the inner rear wheel, thereby adjusting the driving path. Mechanism of Vehicle Stability Control System: The role of ESP is to automatically intervene and correct the driver's actions when the vehicle is operated beyond its limits. The system uses two methods to control the vehicle's movement: first, by reducing throttle input to decrease engine power and slow down the vehicle; second, by applying brakes to specific wheels to reduce the vehicle's speed back within safe limits.
