How Does Electronic Stability Program+ Work?
The Electronic Stability Program+ (ESP) helps prevent a vehicle from skidding by keeping it aligned with its intended path.
The ESP system, integrating the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS), and Stability Control (SC), utilizes a range of sensors to measure the vehicle’s movement.
The collected data is processed by an electronic control unit, which then adjusts the vehicle’s direction, improving stability and control.
