Nowadays, many sports-oriented cars will be equipped with the ESP function off button, but many car owners have not used it since they bought the car. So what exactly does this button do? Today, let’s explore the function of the ESP function off button.
ESP system refers to Electronic Stability Program System, which is the abbreviation of Electronic Stability Program in English and translated into “Electronic Stability Program” in Chinese. The function of the ESP system is to monitor the driving state of the car and prevent the vehicle from deviating from the ideal trajectory when understeering or oversteering occurs during emergency avoidance of obstacles or turns. It integrates ABS (anti-lock braking system), BAS (brake assist system) and ASR (acceleration anti-skid control system) three systems, more powerful. So why do designers reserve a close button for us?
When the vehicle gets stuck in a puddle or slips
The more common situation is that the car gets stuck in a puddle or slips. If the traction control function in ESP is turned off, it is Can increase the probability of escape. Because the tachometer of different tires will produce different readings, this will cause the traction control system to be triggered by mistake, which will limit the engine speed, and will not be able to output power, making it impossible to get out of trouble.
When driving on icy or slippery roads
Because the tires are likely to continue to slip when driving on such roads, if the system is continuously Limit braking, and a lot of aggressiveness occurs.
During track drifting or intense driving
During intense driving, the wheel speed difference between each tire will be more obvious, which is easy to trigger the activation of the ESP function. As a result, the engine power output is limited by the computer, which will have a great impact on your passion.
