In RACE mode, press and hold ESP off for 5 seconds to completely turn off ESP. It will be turned on automatically when the speed exceeds 120km/h, and it will be turned off automatically when the speed drops to 120km/h. In this way, users can enjoy driving as much as possible while ensuring emergency safety in the case.
