To determine whether the ESC system is functioning properly, a comprehensive assessment can be made based on the dashboard indicator status and actual driving experience. During driving, if ESC activates (such as on slippery surfaces or during emergency lane changes), the indicator will flash while the system applies braking force to individual wheels or adjusts engine torque, resulting in noticeable vehicle stabilization. Note that disabling ESC will display an "ESC OFF" prompt on the dashboard, and the system will automatically reactivate when speed exceeds 80 km/h. Daily driving is recommended with ESC enabled, particularly in challenging conditions like rain or mountain roads, though manual deactivation is necessary for off-road use or snow chain installation. While manufacturers may use different ESC nomenclature (e.g., ESP, VSC), all systems fundamentally monitor vehicle dynamics via sensors to automatically correct trajectory, with effectiveness dependent on tyre condition, speed, and road surface.
