ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) installed in the vehicle cannot be turned off and must be handled by maintenance personnel at a 4S shop. Generally, ordinary household cars cannot turn off ABS. ESP can be manually turned off, but ABS cannot be manually intervened because it would lose its meaning if it could be turned off at will. The function of the vehicle ABS system: When the wheel is about to reach the next lock-up point, the pressure of the brake fluid causes the airbag to act repeatedly, so it can act 60 to 120 times in one second, equivalent to continuous braking and releasing, similar to mechanical intermittent braking. Therefore, the ABS anti-lock system can prevent loss of direction control and wheel skidding during emergency braking, prevent the wheel from locking up during braking, and prevent the tire from rubbing against the ground at a single point, thereby increasing friction and achieving a braking efficiency of more than 90%.

I tried turning off ABS while driving on the track, and the feeling was completely different. For more precise brake control, disabling ABS can enhance the driving experience on the track, but remember this isn't something you should do daily. Many modern cars don't have a direct button; you'll need to look in the central control menu for driving mode settings, such as sport or track mode, which may include the option to turn it off. If you can't find it, you might need to use a diagnostic tool or disconnect the ABS sensor wiring, but this is troublesome and risky. After turning it off, the tires are prone to locking up during braking, especially on slippery surfaces, making it easy to lose control and skid—I've seen fellow drivers run off the track because of this. Safety first; it's only recommended to try this in closed areas and under professional guidance. Normally, it's best to keep it on for your protection.

Where is the AUX interface in the Tayron?

The AUX interface in the Tayron is located below the center of the car's central console, featuring a 3.5mm audio jack similar to a headphone jack on a phone, usually labeled as AUX or AUX IN. The AUX is an audio input interface. Its basic working principle is that after connecting to the AUX interface, audio from electronic devices can be transmitted through the headphone jack and the AUX interface to the car's audio system, allowing playback through the car's audio broadcasting facilities. The USB interface can be used to insert a USB drive for audio playback. When using it, connect one end to the AUX interface and the other end to devices like smartphones, MP3 players, or MP4 players. This allows you to listen to songs or niche music anytime, anywhere, without being limited to car music CDs. However, if the playback device runs out of battery, the music will stop (the interface is typically a 3.5mm headphone jack). Aux, short for Auxiliary, is an additional signal line design. In general audio equipment, besides the standard output and input terminals, there are often several terminals labeled Aux, serving as backup connection points. These can be used for special applications, such as additional audio output or input. Such backup terminals or lines, whether for input or output, are collectively referred to as Aux. Function: The AUX port is an asynchronous port primarily used for remote configuration, dial-up connections, or connecting with a MODEM via a transceiver. It supports hardware flow control. The AUX port and CONSOLE port are usually placed together because they are suited for different configuration environments. The AUX interface establishes a command-line connection between the user and the device, enabling operations that are usually not possible in user mode, such as initialization, restoring default settings, or correcting abnormal user modes. It provides a fixed port for the device, which can function as a standard asynchronous serial port with a maximum speed of 115200bit/s. Using the AUX interface, remote configuration of hardware products and line backup functions can be achieved. Note: When using the AUX interface, ensure you purchase the correct connecting cable and avoid plugging the audio cable into the wrong port. It's best to follow the steps outlined in the product's user manual. If unsure, consult the product's official website or call customer service for assistance.
