HAT IS ESP IN A CAR? The Electronic Stability Programme is a computerised safety and technology tool in all modern cars. Since 2014, every new car sold throughout Europe must have an ESP system, as it has been widely proven to save lives in road traffic accidents. Research undertaken in the UK indicates that your chances of being involved in a fatal crash are reduced by 25% with ESP. The Electronic Stability Programme is designed to improve a vehicle’s stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction, which therefore prevents the tyres from skidding uncontrollably. When the Electronic Stability Programme detects a loss of steering control, it automatically applies individual brakes to help ‘steer’ the vehicle where the driver intended it to go. ESP is alternatively known as Electronic Stability Control (or ESC for short). Other alternative terms sometimes used include Electronic Stabilisation Program, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), but they all encompass the same principles and technologies. Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) is a life-saving piece of technology - but how exactly does it work? HOW DOES ESP WORK? A lot of road traffic accidents are the result of a loss of control in a corner taken too fast or a need to apply rapid braking, sometimes in bad weather conditions. Most drivers find it difficult to recover from a slide or spin without the use of driver safety technologies such as the Electronic Stability Programme. ESP includes several pieces of technology that work together to keep the car safely on the road, in control and heading in the direction you wanted. This umbrella terms includes anti-lock brakes (ABS) and traction control. As you steer, accelerate and brake, numerous sensors monitor the car’s behaviour and send data to a central computer. This computer then compares what you’re doing to how the car is responding. If, for example, you’re steering sharply to the left or right, but the car is ploughing on straight ahead (perhaps because the road is very wet or icy), the computer can recognise this and instruct the car’s systems to step in and help. Individual brakes will then be applied to each wheel to compensate and bring the car back into a more stable condition. This technology is far quicker to react than a human would be, meaning the Electronic Stability Programme can help to prevent skidding, emergency braking and accidents. In the event of understeering, the ESC can decelerate the inside rear wheel. At the same time, the ESC can reduce the engine power until the car has stabilised again.
Good stuff pal, got stuck on the dual carriageway today, this saved me. Thanks
👍👍👍👌
Light still there after following ur instructions
Would this work for the Astra
Yeah hi mate I tried that and it don't work on mine my I don't know why I just
What does esp mean please?
