Does Turning Off Traction Control Help in Rainy Weather?
1 Answers
You should turn off the traction control (OFF) function on rainy days. This is because when starting on snowy or waterlogged roads, the wheels are very prone to slipping. Under such conditions, the vehicle's computer will automatically detect wheel slippage and, to a certain extent, limit the engine's power output. Slow Down: Regardless of the road width or surface condition, always drive slowly in the rain, constantly monitor the distance between your vehicle and others, and be mentally prepared to take various emergency measures. Visibility is low in rainy weather, and the field of vision is poor. Additionally, the vehicle's emergency performance, such as braking distance, may be reduced. Therefore, it's essential to slow down in advance, leaving enough time and space to handle any situation safely. Maintain Safe Distance: Driving in the rain obstructs your vision, so it's crucial to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. Always monitor the distance between your car and those around you, increasing the safety gap as needed.
