What is Mercedes electronic stability program?
Electronic Stability Program is a safety feature that helps prevent skidding and loss of control in slippery or challenging driving conditions. It is also known as electronic stability control (ESC) or dynamic stability control. The ESC system is an important safety feature that automatically comes on to improve your car’s stability. Turning it off is dangerous. It is not advisable to intentionally deactivate a vehicle’s electronic stability control for normal driving situations.A faulty ESP system doesn’t make your car dangerous per se, but if your car’s fitted with such an effective safety system it would be mad not to have it fully operational. Even professional driving instructors keep the system engaged on the road.It applies or eases the brakes of each wheel on the car to bring the vehicle back onto the intended path. ESC involves the traction control systems, adjusts engine power to reduce speed, and applies brakes if the driver gives too much gas. These manipulations can significantly reduce your risk of being in a rollover.Is it ever OK to turn off ESC? As a rule of thumb, no, not on the public road. However, there is one circumstance in which it’s OK, even beneficial to turn off stability control, and that’s when the road is super-slick with mud, ice or snow.
