Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
ESP can effectively reduce the risk of vehicle
sliding.
Operating Principle of ESP
ESP confirms the driver's driving intention
according to steering wheel angle and vehicle
speed, and constantly compares the information
with actual driving condition. If the vehicle deviates
from the normal running route (e.g., side skidding),
the ESP will correct it by applying a brakeforce to
the appropriate wheels.
The ESP can be used to recover the stable
driving state through the twisting force generated
by braking. If the vehicle tends to oversteer (i.e.
drift), the system will mainly exert the brakeforce on
the front wheel at the outer bending. If the vehicle
tends to understeer (i.e. excessive turning radius),
the system will mainly exert the brakeforce on the
rear wheel at the inner bending.
Activation and Deactivation of ESP
The ESP system is activated by default when
the vehicle is moving.
The ESP system can be shut down by long
pressing the button (longer than 3s but shorter
than 10s). Then the indicator light is on and the
warning information is displayed.
Vehicle not equipped with ESP sideslips and
deviates from the normal route during driving.
