Where is the ESP switch located on the Geely Vision?

The ESP switch of the Geely Vision is located on the instrument panel below the left side of the steering wheel. You can turn off the ESP when there is insufficient traction, such as in the following situations: 1. When the vehicle is stuck in mud or sand during off-road driving: When driving on muddy or sandy terrain, the wheel traction is minimal. In such cases, the ESP will activate and apply braking to certain wheels. At this point, the engine torque will be continuously consumed by the wheels with less rolling resistance, and the ESP will limit the engine RPM. Even if you press the accelerator hard, it may still be difficult to get out of the situation. 2. When snow chains are installed on the wheels: Snow chains increase the friction between the tires and the ground, making them suitable for driving on snowy or icy roads. However, when snow chains are installed, detection signals from sensors such as wheel speed sensors and lateral acceleration sensors may become inaccurate. This can affect the normal operation of the ESP system, potentially causing the ESP to intervene frequently or display fault codes. 3. When encountering wheel slip while climbing a slope in rain or snow: When starting on snowy or waterlogged roads, especially on an uphill slope, the wheels are highly prone to slipping.
When driving the Vision, I noticed the ESP switch is quite easy to locate. It's positioned in a dedicated button area below the left side of the steering wheel, possibly marked with a skid control icon nearby. After turning off ESP, a yellow indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard, indicating the system is deactivated. This design ensures convenient operation, but it's recommended to keep ESP enabled during normal driving as it prevents wheel slippage on wet roads or during sharp turns, enhancing safety. You may temporarily disable it when additional traction is needed in muddy or snowy conditions, but avoid prolonged deactivation. The exact location might vary slightly across different model years of the Vision - if unfamiliar with initial positioning, checking the manual to confirm the button's placement is advisable.
