What does the car skidding indicator on the dashboard mean?

[EmilioAnn]

The appearance of the car skidding indicator on the dashboard means that the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is intervening. ESP is a general term for systems or programs that enhance vehicle handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the vehicle reaches its dynamic limits. ESP includes functions such as Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC). The working principle of ESP is: through the ABS electronic control unit, based on signals from the wheel speed sensors, it calculates and analyzes the wheel slip rate and vehicle speed. The electronic control unit then adjusts the wheel slip rate by controlling throttle opening and brake pressure.
