What does 'off' mean in a car?
1 Answers
In a car, 'off' means to turn off. The 'off' light in a car mainly refers to ESP OFF. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is an active safety device designed to prevent the risk of vehicle skidding and fishtailing. If the ESP OFF light on the car's dashboard comes on, it indicates that the vehicle's electronic stability control system is either turned off or malfunctioning. If you accidentally press the ESP OFF button in the car, simply press it briefly again to reactivate the ESP. If the ESP OFF light is on due to a malfunction in the system itself, it is necessary to promptly send the vehicle to a 4S shop for inspection and repair. There are many reasons that can cause the malfunction light to come on, such as wiring faults, sensor damage, electronic control unit signal errors, or a weak battery.
