Question 1004 in the bank

What system helps to stabilize the vehicle when it is skidding or in danger of rolling over?

  1. Correct answer: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) System
  2. The engine’s fuel consumption control system.
  3. The signaling system.
  4. The speed control system.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) System

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) system uses sensors to detect when the vehicle starts to skid or drifts from the direction the driver is steering. It automatically brakes one or more wheels, and sometimes also reduces engine power. This brings the vehicle back onto its course and reduces the danger of rolling over. The speed control system only maintains a constant speed and does not stabilize the vehicle in a skid.
