What does the car skid mark OFF mean?

OFF is the deactivation button for the Vehicle Stability Control system. This system is enabled by default and can be turned off by long-pressing this button. Below is relevant information about the Electronic Stability Program: 1. Introduction: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is an automotive 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. Compared to other traction control systems, ESP not only controls the drive wheels but also the driven wheels. For instance, in cases of oversteer commonly seen in rear-wheel-drive vehicles where the rear wheels lose control and cause the tail to slide out, ESP will apply braking to the outer front wheel to stabilize the vehicle. In situations of understeer, to correct the tracking direction, ESP will brake the inner rear wheel to adjust the driving direction. 2. Mechanism of Action: The function of ESP is to automatically intervene and correct the driver's operation when it exceeds the limit. The computer controls the vehicle's movement through two methods: first, by controlling the throttle to reduce fuel supply, thereby decreasing the car's power and slowing it down; second, by applying braking to certain wheels to reduce the vehicle's speed below the limit.
