Tips:
1.What is Electronic stability control (ESC)?
Electronic stability control
(
ESC
) is a computerized technology
[1][2]
that improves the safety of a
vehicle's
stability
by detecting and minimizing skids. When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically applies
the brakes to help "steer" the vehicle where the driver intends to go. Braking is automatically applied to individual
wheel, such as the outer front wheel to counter
oversteer
or the inner rear wheel to counter
understeer
. Some ESC
systems also reduce engine power until control is regained. ESC does not improve a vehicle's cornering
performance, it rather helps minimize the loss of control. According to
IIHS
and
NHTSA
, one-third of fatal
accidents could have been prevented by the technology.
[3][4
Electronic stability control (ESC) is the generic term recognised by the
European
Automobile Manufacturers Association
(ACEA), the North American
Society of
