What is the function of the vehicle’s Electronic Stability Program (ESP) System?
- To control the engine’s fuel consumption.
- To prevent the wheels from locking.
- Correct answer: To reduce the danger of skidding.
- To reduce the emission of burnt gases from the engine.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: To reduce the danger of skidding.
ESP detects when the vehicle starts to move differently from where the driver is steering, for example sliding in a bend or during an emergency swerve. It automatically brakes individual wheels and may cut engine power to keep the vehicle stable and reduce the danger of skidding. Preventing wheel lock under braking is the job of ABS, not ESP.
