How to Use the Anti-Skid System?
2 Answers
The usage method of the anti-skid system is as follows: If your car is equipped with ESP or other forms of anti-skid systems, the manufacturer usually sets a control switch button in the vehicle. Simply press it briefly to turn off the ESP, and the ESP indicator light on the dashboard will illuminate. To reactivate the ESP, press the button briefly again. Extension: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) are all derivatives of the car's anti-skid system, with ESP being the most advanced form. ESP is usually enabled by default in vehicles, and manual operation is not required to activate it.
The anti-skid system is actually quite intelligent, and most of the time you don't need to worry about operating it. It automatically activates when we start the ignition, just like a 24/7 bodyguard. I remember last time I was driving in a heavy rainstorm, and when I passed through a waterlogged area on the highway, I clearly felt the steering wheel lighten up as the vehicle automatically adjusted the power distribution to stabilize the car—that was it in action. Normally, you just need to pay attention to whether the little car skidding icon on the dashboard is lit—if it's on, it means the system has detected a fault, and it's time for a check-up. As for manual operation, you only need to press the little car button with the squiggly line to temporarily turn off the system when you're stuck in mud or snow and need the wheels to spin freely to get out, but don't forget to turn it back on after you're free.
