Is it better to turn the OFF car button on or off?
2 Answers
OFF is the button to turn off the vehicle stability control system. This system is enabled by default, and pressing and holding this button will turn it off. Here is the relevant introduction: 1. Working principle: When the speed difference between the left and right wheels exceeds the value set by the computer, the computer will determine that the vehicle is skidding or fishtailing and will take measures such as braking individual wheels and reducing engine output torque to control and prevent skidding or fishtailing. 2. Integrated systems: Generally, OFF also integrates systems such as ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), BAS (Brake Assist System), ASR (Acceleration Slip Regulation), and TCS (Traction Control System). The integrated technologies may vary depending on the brand and model of the vehicle.
Personally, I think turning off the AC saves fuel. Using air conditioning consumes engine power, especially noticeable at low speeds or idle. Running AC continuously can increase fuel consumption by about 5-10%, which isn't cost-effective with high fuel prices. It's understandable to use it during hot summers, but when the weather cools down, switching to natural ventilation with a slightly open window feels quite comfortable. Constant operation of AC components like the compressor accelerates wear and tear – giving it occasional breaks can extend its lifespan by several years. During prolonged stops like at red lights, manually turning off the AC reduces emissions and is more eco-friendly. Overall, switching it off when unnecessary is a smart choice that saves money and protects the vehicle.
