What Does the ESP Button Do in a Vauxhall Mokka?

I have noticed a button labeled 'ESP' on my Vauxhall Mokka's dashboard. What does this button do and when should I use it?

The 'ESP' button stands for Electronic Stability Program and is designed to help improve your vehicle's stability and traction while driving. It is recommended to leave this feature turned on during normal driving conditions as it can help prevent accidents.

You can turn off the ESP feature in case you need to drive on slippery or low-traction surfaces, such as snow or ice. Keep in mind that turning off ESP can increase the risk of losing control of your vehicle, so only do so if necessary.

If the ESP light on your dashboard is continuously illuminated, this could indicate a problem with the system. It is advised to have your vehicle checked by a professional mechanic to ensure the safety and functionality of your ESP.
