ESP function passive
By actuating the ESP button, the ESP function
(anti-skid function) switched to passive.
This means that skidding (rotation about the
vehicle's vertical axis) will not affect the
driving dynamics control until the brake pedal
is actuated.
As soon as the “brakes actuated” information
is present, the ESP function will be
reactivated for safety reasons.
It makes sense to deactivate the ESP function
in particularly slippery terrain since
“skidding” around the vertical axis will occur
constantly.
The passive "anti-skid function" can prevent
unnecessary / undesirable ESP activation.
Another situation in which it is advisable to
deactivate the ESP is when “drifting” is
desired during cornering.
