The ESP button of the Roewe i5 is located in the display screen. Here are some additional details: 1. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is a general term for systems or programs that enhance vehicle handling performance while effectively preventing loss of control when the car reaches its dynamic limits. 2. The ESP system consists of a control unit and various sensors including steering sensors, wheel sensors, skid sensors, and lateral acceleration sensors. 3. The ESP actuator is the braking system for all four wheels. Unlike vehicles without ESP, those equipped with ESP feature a braking system with pressure accumulation capability. The ESP actuator is a braking system capable of individually braking each wheel.

I've been driving the Roewe i5 for two years, and the ESP button is located in the area right in front of the gear shift, below the air conditioning knobs. It's the one with a small car icon and two curved lines. Normally, you shouldn't press this button randomly while driving, as the ESP system is turned on by default to prevent skidding and rollovers. It's only in special situations, like when you're stuck in snow and need to get out, that you should press it to temporarily turn it off, allowing the wheels to spin freely. It automatically turns back on every time you restart the car, which is really convenient. If you can't find it, just look down at the lower left side of the center console—the button isn't very noticeable but it's quite important. If all else fails, check the manual or visit a 4S shop to have a technician point it out to you.

I remember when I first got my Roewe i5, I couldn't find the ESP button either. Later, I discovered it's located below the left air vent on the steering wheel, right next to the tire pressure monitoring button. The icon shows a small car with an S-shaped trail, and the black button with silver trim is quite distinctive. Normally, you don't need to touch it as the system automatically keeps it on to protect you. However, if you're driving on muddy slopes and the wheels slip, you might need to turn it off to let the car gain more traction. After pressing it, a yellow light on the dashboard will indicate that it's turned off. Some newer models have switched to touchscreen controls, but older models definitely have a physical button. If you can't find it, try turning on the ignition and sitting in the driver's seat to feel around—it's on the left side of the center console.

The ESP button of the Roewe i5 is usually located in the area in front of the gear lever. The icon resembles a skidding car, and the button is small but has a noticeable tactile feel. This system can be life-saving, as it prevents skidding when turning on rainy days, and it is enabled by default. It should only be turned off for special needs, such as getting unstuck in snow or ice, where pressing the button allows the wheels to spin. It automatically activates every time the car is started, and the dashboard indicator light will turn off. If the button position has changed in newer models, the quickest way is to find the vehicle settings in the multifunction menu on the steering wheel, where the electronic stability system switch is located.

What are the standards for scrapping and claiming compensation for water-damaged vehicles?

There are no separate scrapping standards for water-damaged vehicles. Here are the relevant details: 1. Engine damage: If a vehicle's engine is damaged due to submersion in water or driving through water, the damage will not be covered by the vehicle damage insurance. If the vehicle is submerged in water but the engine is not affected, and only parts replacement or circuit repairs are needed, these fall under the coverage of vehicle damage insurance. Even if the vehicle is completely submerged and declared a total loss, the insurance company may compensate for the total loss. 2. Water-related damage insurance: If you haven't purchased water-related damage insurance, the insurance company will only compensate for damages if the vehicle was stationary and submerged, and no attempt was made to start the engine. However, if you knowingly drive through flooded roads and cause damage to the vehicle, the insurance company will not provide compensation.

Why is there water inside the car door?

If it does not affect normal use, allowing the water to dry naturally is a good option. You can use a hair dryer to blow dry the wet areas to speed up evaporation. Alternatively, you can directly visit a 4S shop for professional inspection and maintenance to avoid potential issues such as short circuits caused by water ingress. The reasons for water inside the car door are as follows: 1. Severe aging of the door edge waterproof and soundproofing strip: Aging of the waterproof strip usually occurs in older vehicles. This issue is obvious, as you can see the leakage points. Later, simply replace the new waterproof and soundproofing strip. 2. Clogged drainage holes in the door: The door design includes drainage holes at the very bottom. Water entering the door will drain out through these holes. If you notice excessive water accumulation in the door, check whether the drainage holes are clogged and clear them if necessary.
