Understeer
-
When the vehicle tends to understeer
(i.e., excessive turning radius), the system
will apply braking force mainly to the rear
wheel on the inner side of the curve.
-
A vehicle without ESP deviates from the
normal driving route due to sideslip. A
vehicle with ESP can correct the braking
force according to sideslip, to prevent
deviation from the route.
On and Off
ESP is on by default when the vehicle is
running. Access the AV system interface,
click the driving control panel button
on
the bottom toolbar to enter the driving control
panel interface. If the “ESP” soft key is clicked,
the ESP will be deactivated, the indicator lamp
on the instrument cluster will come on and
an alarm message will be displayed.
Since the electronic stability program (ESP)
works only when the vehicle is running, the
ESP shall be activated for driving safety. The
ESP can be disabled in the following special
cases:
-
When the vehicle runs with tire chains.
-
When the vehicle runs on roads covered
with deep snow or on soft grounds.
-
When the vehicle is trapped on muddy
roads, etc., and you need to move it back
and forth.
CAUTION
Improper operation or modifications (such
as modifications to the brake system,
wheels, tires and other components) of the
vehicle will affect the function of ESP.
