What is the function of the Electronic Stability Control system?
2 Answers
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is designed to prevent vehicle rollover. It is a chassis braking technology developed based on the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), mainly composed of control unit, steering sensor, wheel speed sensor, skid sensor, lateral acceleration sensor and other components. The ESC system can achieve automatic vehicle safety control, effectively improving driving stability and safety during dynamic conditions such as braking, acceleration and steering. This system includes various sensors that comprehensively monitor the vehicle's driving status, as well as an intelligent onboard microcomputer control system for analyzing and processing signals from these sensors.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is truly practical. Having driven various cars for so many years, it feels like an invisible bodyguard protecting you at critical moments. For example, when you make a sudden sharp turn on a rainy or snowy day, the vehicle might lose control and skid. However, this system detects tire slippage through sensors and automatically adjusts engine output and applies brakes to individual wheels, helping to stabilize the car and prevent rollovers or skidding. I think it's especially suitable for family cars with children or long-distance driving, as it enhances active safety and reduces the likelihood of accidents. Many cars now come standard with this feature—don’t underestimate it, as it might save your life without you even noticing.
