Is ESC the same as ABS (Antilock Braking System) and TCS (Traction Control System)?
No. ESC adds stability control to the benefi ts of ABS and TCS. ABS helps you to maintain control and steer when you need to brake suddenly. TCS helps prevent wheel slippage when you accelerate. Both of these affect the forward movement of your car. ESC helps with sideways movements, which may lead to skidding.
