Where is the Volkswagen Bora's ESP switch located?
1 Answers
After starting the Volkswagen Bora, the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) system is activated by default. There is only one switch button, located at the lower left corner of the center console. Additional information: The role of the Bora's ESP in driving safety: 1. Adjusts braking force distribution to prevent the rear wheels from locking up first. It typically fails only when there is a hardware malfunction in the module; 2. Prevents wheel lock-up by calculating the vehicle's slip rate and controlling it near the peak adhesion coefficient, which is a passive safety control; 3. Traction Control System (TCS), which operates under conditions such as low-adhesion road surfaces where the drive wheels slip. The TCS requests the engine to reduce torque while lightly applying the brakes for smooth vehicle acceleration; 4. Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system, which primarily corrects understeer and oversteer by actively pressurizing individual wheels. Both TCS and VDC involve active pressurization, meaning they can apply pressure to the brake lines without requiring brake pedal force.
