The switch provides:

• a cohesive look with other buttons in the center console,
• a distinct click and tactile feedback from the mechanism when pressed,
• clear ESP function labeling in line with the manufacturer's standard.

Product Characteristics and Condition

• maintaining the uniform aesthetics of the vehicle's interior.

Benefits of Using an Original ESP Switch

Using the factory ESP button in an Audi A4 B8 or A5 8T allows for the restoration of full functionality for controlling the stability system without compromising ergonomics. Proper fitting to the control panel reduces the risk of looseness, incorrect seating, or unsightly gaps.
