How does Electronic Stability Control work?
Electronic stability control (ESC) improves a vehicle's stability by detecting when a car is starting to skid. When the system thinks there’s loss of steering control, it automatically applies the brakes, which help ‘steer’ the vehicle in the direction that the driver intends to go.
