What does the ESC warning light mean in an Audi A1?

I recently saw the ESC warning light come on while driving my Audi A1. What does this mean and should I be concerned?

The ESC warning light indicates an issue with the Electronic Stability Control system in your Audi A1. This system helps to keep your car stable and on the road during sudden maneuvers or slippery conditions. It is important to get this checked out by a mechanic as soon as possible to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.

The ESC warning light can also come on if there is a problem with the brake system or the brake fluid levels in your Audi A1. It is best to get this checked by a professional mechanic to determine the exact cause and make any necessary repairs.

In some cases, the ESC warning light can come on due to a faulty sensor or electrical issue. While this may not pose an immediate safety concern, it is still important to have it looked at by a mechanic to prevent any further damage to your vehicle.
