When should the car ESP be kept on?

Car ESP should be kept on in slippery conditions such as rain or snow. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which is a system or program that enhances vehicle handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the vehicle reaches its dynamic limits. ESP includes functions such as Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC). The working principle of ESP is: through the ABS electronic control unit, based on signals from the wheel speed sensors, it calculates and analyzes to determine the wheel slip rate and vehicle speed. The electronic control unit then adjusts the wheel slip rate by controlling the throttle opening and brake pressure.
