What is the purpose of using the ESP system in a passenger car?
aPreventing skidding of the wheels while engine braking.
bPreventing blocking of the braked wheels.
cStabilizing the movement of the vehicle when driving along the curve.
Why?
ESP helps the car follow the intended path, including when driving around a bend. It brakes selected wheels and reduces drive torque when necessary to stabilise the car. Answer A describes the MSR function used during engine braking, while answer B describes ABS, which prevents the wheels from locking during braking.
