What does the ESC button in the car mean?
1 Answers
ESC button in the car stands for Electronic Stability Control system, which is an active safety technology designed to assist drivers in controlling the vehicle. When the ESC is activated, pressing and holding the ESC button can deactivate the system. The Electronic Stability Control system analyzes the vehicle's driving state information collected from various sensors and then sends corrective commands to systems like ABS and EBD to help maintain the vehicle's dynamic balance. The Electronic Stability Control system consists of a control unit along with steering sensors (monitoring the steering wheel's angle), wheel sensors (monitoring the speed of each wheel), skid sensors (monitoring the vehicle's rotation around the vertical axis), and lateral acceleration sensors (monitoring the centrifugal force during turns).
