The Electronic Stability Program+ (ESP) system helps prevent a vehicle from skidding by keeping it aligned with its intended path of motion. This system integrates the ABS, Traction Control System (TCS), and Stability Control (SC), and uses various sensors to monitor the vehicle’s movement.
The collected data is processed by an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) which calculates and adjusts the vehicle’s trajectory, thereby improving stability and control. The Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 and S-Presso are sold with three years or one lakh km warranty as standard and it can be extended up to five years.
