What does the 'off' button on the Volkswagen Bora mean?

[VanElle]

The 'off' button on the Volkswagen Bora is the switch to deactivate the vehicle stability control system. Introduction to Electronic Stability Program (ESP): The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 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. Working Principle: Under certain road conditions and vehicle load conditions, the maximum adhesion force that the wheels can provide is a fixed value. That is, in extreme situations, the longitudinal force (along the rolling direction of the wheel) and the lateral force (perpendicular to the rolling direction of the wheel) acting on the wheel have an inverse relationship. The electronic stability program can independently control the longitudinal braking force of each wheel, thereby influencing the lateral force and improving the vehicle's handling performance.
