ESC button on a car stands for Electronic Stability Control. When ESC is activated, pressing and holding the ESC button can turn off the Electronic Stability Control system. It is not advisable to turn off the Electronic Stability Control system while driving on public roads as it may compromise driving safety and stability. Electronic Stability Control is a general term for systems or programs designed to enhance vehicle handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the vehicle reaches its dynamic limits. The Electronic Stability Program improves vehicle safety and handling. The Electronic Stability Control system analyzes vehicle driving state information from various sensors and then sends correction commands to ABS, EBD, etc., to help the vehicle maintain dynamic balance.
