Electronic Stability Program for Cars

The roads are ever-changing with numerous variables that are completely out of your control. That’s why the Electronic Stability Program®, which gives you control over your vehicle.

Just like you do not like to stray from your chosen path, neither should your car. However, the roads are full of variable conditions and things can get tricky, especially over slippery surfaces or during sudden manoeuvring during emergency situations. That’s where the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) kicks in and it is nothing short of tech wizardry!

In simple terms, the Electronic Stability Program® system counteracts a vehicle’s skidding movements to bring it in line with its natural path of motion as per the laws of physics. The functioning of the ESP® constitutes the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS) & Stability Control (SC). It uses a range of sensors to measure the vehicle’s movement. An electronic control unit uses this information to calculate the actual movement of the vehicle along its desired direction of travel.

The ESP® system compares the vehicle's movement data continuously. It can cut power to the wheel/s or apply the brakes on multiple wheels instantly to counteract the adverse impact of a sudden change in the direction of travel and allow the vehicle to follow the driver's intended direction of travel in case of sudden manoeuvring or skidding.
