ESP -- Electronic Stability Program

Various shots of Electronic Stability Program (ESP); This system enhances control and helps maintain directional stability under all driving conditions. It provides the greatest benefits in critical situations such as turns, and is especially valuable on slippery surface conditions such as snow, ice or gravel. If there's a noticeable difference between what the driver is requesting through the steering wheel and the vehicle's actual path, ESP applies selective braking and throttle reduction to put the vehicle back on the driver's intended path.

Availability: 2007 Chrysler 300, Aspen, Crossfire, Pacifica and Sebring; Dodge Caliber, Charger, Durango, Magnum and Nitro; Jeep Commander, Compass, Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Patriot and Wrangler.
Each vehicle has a unique and specific calibration to offer safe control under a variety of conditions and in a manner that is not intrusive in normal or spirited driving.

ESP disable looks fun!

[dsummers2006]

if you watch the last and final test with the jeep, he makes it though with it disabled but if you keep watching the wheel, he kept it turned in one direction instead of the straight ahead after he got it back in the right position, so he would have been fine but it looks like he messed up on purpose

Morale of the story?

Jeeps hate cones :D

[skinVISIBLE]

This is all faked and acted. The vehicles intentionally swerve out of control in tests 1,2 & 5. Also the driver without stability control (left) drives faster than the other. Also you may note this crazy drive doesn't bother to take his foot off the pedal while driving in snow around cones at about 25-30 km hr. A fair test lads?

The dumbass on the left needs to learn how to control his vehicles .

@straightpipediesel /already been done, I leave everyone in the dust and take almost all my turns side ways. Show people how to really drive =p

[straightpipediesel]

@Flipster1325 You turn it off if you're rocking the car out of snow (traction control function) or have a compact spare on.

Since you can brake each wheel independently and adjust the pressure 100 times a second while adjusting throttle, you clearly can drive better than ESP. Just go pull the ABS fuse next winter and tell us how much better you're driving.

You don't need esp if you don't drive like a retarded squirrel.

@makmegs Something the ESP doesnt have is eyes and doesnt know what is really going on besides the car losing control, many times this winter the ABS which I cant turn off nearly caused me to crash. Not because its malfunctioning, I have driven several different cars and they all behave the same. I know what I have to do to make it safely through, the ABS or ESP just knows how to keep the car in control. Tell me why there is an off button if the manufacturer knew ESP should be on at all times?
