ESP or electronic stability program is an important safety feature which helps in controlling a spin out situation when a car is under harsh braking. It senses individual wheel speed and detects understeer and oversteer conditions working in conjunction with ABS and traction control systems.

Another important safety feature in a vehicle is central locking with engine immobiliser function. Central locking allows all doors of the vehicle to be locked and unlocked at the same time. This helps ensure that none of the doors are left unlocked by mistake leading to potential theft. The immobilizer prevents the engine from starting in the event of unauthorized entry.
