How does the Vauxhall Mokka's Electronic Stability Program (ESP) work?

I recently bought a Vauxhall Mokka and noticed that it has an Electronic Stability Program (ESP). I'm not familiar with this feature and I'm curious to know how it works and if it's something I should always have turned on.

The ESP is an important safety feature that helps prevent your car from skidding or losing control in hazardous driving situations. It works by automatically applying the brakes to individual wheels and reducing engine power to help keep your vehicle on the intended path.

I recommend always keeping the ESP turned on while driving. It can make a significant difference in emergency situations and can help keep you and your passengers safe.
