It is recommended to turn it on. BMW Traction refers to the Traction Control System, abbreviated as TCS. This function represents the traction control system or the anti-slip drive system of motor vehicles. When activated, the system reduces the slip rate of the vehicle's drive wheels and decreases power output when the vehicle experiences understeer. Below is relevant information: Definition of TCS System: The Traction Control System is also known as the TCS system. On most vehicles, the TCS system is enabled by default, but the owner can turn it off based on actual conditions. When the Traction Control System is turned off, the system will not limit wheel spin, and driving style should be adjusted accordingly. Function of TCS System: The TCS system ensures optimal traction under various driving conditions, so it is best to keep it on unless there are special circumstances. On snowy or muddy roads, the Traction Control System ensures smooth acceleration performance and prevents the vehicle from skidding sideways or fishtailing due to drive wheel slippage. Unless the vehicle is stuck in mud, sand, or snow and requires increased wheel torque, the TCS system can be turned off. Otherwise, it is best to keep it on in all other situations.
