ESP keeps the car stable if it starts to oversteer or understeer, by braking one or more wheels. It also includes other functions such as ABS and EBD.
Switching ESP off and on
- 1With the car switched on, swipe down from the top right of the touchscreen.
- 2Tap ESP Off to switch ESP off.
- 3Tap ESP Off again to switch it back on.
Note:ESP is on by default. It cannot be switched off while it is actively working.

ESP switched off
Note:Fitting the temporary spare tyre can trigger an ESP warning. It returns to normal after about 1 km (0.6 miles) once a normal-size tyre is refitted.
When to switch ESP off
- When driving with snow chains.
- When running the car on a rolling road (power tester).
- On deep snow or loose gravel - switching ESP off can improve traction on sand or gravel.
Warning:Many driver assistance systems rely on ESP. With ESP off they will not work and a temporary fault light may show on the cluster - this is not a fault. Switch ESP back on to restore them.
Warning:ESP cannot stop accidents caused by high speed, sharp turns or poor roads, and cannot always regain control in extreme situations. Always drive within the law and the conditions.
Warning:If ESP has a fault, have it checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre as soon as possible.
