What is the function of Volvo ESC Sport Mode?

[LeRebecca]

It controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle to ensure it operates according to the driver's intentions. ESC works in coordination with the engine ECU. When the drive wheels slip, the electronic system compares the rotational speeds of each wheel to determine if the drive wheels are slipping. It then automatically reduces the throttle intake and lowers the engine speed to decrease power output, while applying braking to the slipping drive wheels. Additional information: ESC Sport Mode is an electronic stability control system for vehicles, which extends the functions of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system (TCS). It further incorporates a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor when the vehicle is turning. The ECU controls the driving and braking forces of the front, rear, left, and right wheels to ensure the vehicle's lateral stability during driving.
