How to Turn Off the Anti-Skid Function in a Smart Car?
1 Answers
To deactivate the anti-skid function, press the OFF button for the anti-skid feature while the vehicle is running. The ESP switch is located below the left side of the steering wheel. Do not press the anti-skid switch lightly, as the vehicle's skid indicator switch may be located in different places, often in hard-to-reach areas, and sometimes difficult to find. Here is an introduction to the anti-skid function: 1. Function One: When the vehicle is stuck in mud or during off-road situations, some wheel slip is necessary to help the vehicle escape or climb. In such cases, ESP's feature of preventing wheel slip can be counterproductive. Therefore, for extreme off-roading or when stuck, it's advisable to turn off the ESP first to ensure the vehicle can get free. 2. Function Two: During snowy or rainy weather when encountering wheel slip while climbing a slope, especially when starting on snow-covered or wet roads, wheels are prone to slipping. The onboard computer may detect the wheel slip and limit engine output, with ESP intervention potentially making things worse. Thus, it's better to turn off ESP before attempting to proceed. 3. Function Three: When snow chains are installed on the vehicle's tires, the chains can interfere with the data from certain sensors in the ESP system due to changes in the wheel's outer diameter, leading to inaccurate signals. This can affect the normal operation of the ESP system, possibly causing it to intervene continuously or trigger fault codes. In such cases, turning off the ESP is also an option.
