Should the Anti-Skid Function Be Turned On or Off in Snowy Weather?

When driving in snowy weather, it is better to keep the anti-skid function turned on. Snowy conditions often lead to icy roads, reducing the vehicle's traction. Activating the anti-skid function helps prevent the car from skidding or rolling over. The anti-skid function is part of the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) system. Anti-Skid Function: Typically, the anti-skid function is enabled by default and does not require manual operation. Most car manufacturers set the anti-skid control switch as a button labeled "ESP." Pressing this button can deactivate the anti-skid function, which will automatically reactivate the next time the car is started. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) System: The Electronic Stability Control system in a car can manage both the drive wheels and the non-drive wheels. It represents the most advanced form of anti-skid technology in modern vehicles. Comprising a control unit, steering sensors, wheel sensors, and skid sensors, the system evaluates the car's condition based on signals from these sensors and issues commands accordingly, ensuring driving safety.
