DRIVING
●
ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP)
ESP determines the driving intention of the driver according to the steering
wheel angle and the vehicle speed, and compares it with the actual driving
condition of the vehicle continuously. If the vehicle deviates from the normal
driving route (such as sideslip), ESP will correct it by applying brake force to the
corresponding wheels.
●
TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS)
As the subsystem of ESP, TCS determines if the driving wheel slips based on
the speed of the driving wheel and the drive wheel, and if the former exceeds
the latter, it will limit the speed of the driving wheel to prevent vehicle slip.
ESP can eectively reduce the risk of vehicle sideslip.
Vehicle not equipped with ESP Vehicle equipped with ESP
The ESP can be disabled in special cases.
For example:
● When the vehicle travels with tire chains.
● When the vehicle travels on roads covered with deep snow or on soft
grounds.
● When the vehicle is stuck somewhere (such as muddy road), and
requires to be moved back and forth.
In cases other than those mentioned above, the ESP shall be
activated.
