I am a new driver and I want to understand how the electronic stability control (ESC) system operates in the Audi A8.
The Audi A8 features an advanced ESC system that automatically applies braking and adjusts engine torque to help keep the vehicle under control in emergency situations or on slippery road conditions.
The Audi A8's ESC system uses sensors to detect and compare the driver's intended direction with the actual path the car is taking. If the system detects a loss of control, it will automatically adjust engine torque and apply braking to individual wheels to help keep the car stable.
In addition to correcting oversteering and understeering, the ESC system in the Audi A8 also includes a feature called 'optimised braking for specific conditions' that helps prevent skidding or sliding on wet or icy roads.
The Audi A8's ESC system is always on during normal driving, but it can be deactivated for situations where a driver wants more control over the vehicle, such as driving in deep snow or sand.
