Where is the ESP button on the Roewe i5?

[LeCollin]

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.

From my experience, the ESP button is located right above the driver's knee area. Look down at the center console - it's either next to the hazard light button or below the AC knob, marked with a simplified sketch of a skidding car wheel. Important reminder: don't press this button randomly as keeping it activated during normal driving helps prevent loss of vehicle control. Even if you need to turn it off, only do so temporarily for specific road conditions, and remember to reactivate it immediately after overcoming the obstacle. In newer models, this function might be integrated into the quick menu on the infotainment screen - try swiping down to find the vehicle control center. If you still can't locate it, ask the car wash staff for help during your next visit - they handle different car models daily and know them exceptionally well.

The actual location of the ESP button on the Roewe i5 may vary slightly depending on the model year. I've seen three versions: the 2018 model has it to the left of the cigarette lighter, the 2020 model moved it below the air conditioning panel, and some 2022 models changed to screen control. For physical buttons, look for the skidding car icon button on the left side of the center console - it's about the size of a soybean with backlight. Remember to hold it for more than 3 seconds to deactivate - a single press only temporarily releases the brakes rather than truly turning it off. Important note: This button shouldn't be turned off casually, especially during high-speed driving in rainy conditions. If you've modified tire size, the ESP data needs recalibration to avoid misjudgment.
