Should the Anti-Slip Function of a Car Be Kept On at All Times?
2 Answers
It should be kept on. Once the car is started, the anti-slip system automatically engages, especially when driving on slippery roads, to maximize safety. Turning Off the Anti-Slip Function: Some car designs allow manual deactivation of the anti-slip system. Turning it off enables activities like drifting. However, on regular roads or during normal driving conditions, average car owners should avoid turning off this system. Electronic Stability Program (ESP): ESP analyzes vehicle movement data from various sensors and sends corrective commands to systems like ABS and EBD to help maintain the car's dynamic balance.
As a seasoned driver with over a decade of experience, I strongly recommend keeping the anti-skid function on at all times. It automatically detects wheel slippage—like on rainy days or slippery roads—to help stabilize your vehicle and prevent loss-of-control accidents. Only turn it off in special situations, such as when you're stuck in deep snow or need more power output for off-roading. While disabling it allows wheels to spin freely, it significantly increases risks. Car manufacturers design it to default to "on" at startup precisely for driving safety. Don't turn it off to save a bit of fuel—that small fuel saving isn't worth compromising safety. Make it a habit to check the switch position every time you start the engine.
