Should the Vehicle Anti-Skid System Be Kept On Normally?
2 Answers
Vehicle Anti-Skid System should be kept on normally. For most vehicles, this system is enabled by default. In certain special driving conditions, if it needs to be turned off, it can be deactivated via the vehicle's anti-skid switch. Once turned off, the anti-skid system will no longer provide protection. Here is some relevant information about the Vehicle Anti-Skid System: The Vehicle Anti-Skid System generally includes the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). On this basis, it adds a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel angle sensor when the vehicle is steering. The system controls the driving and braking forces of the front, rear, left, and right wheels through the ECU to ensure the lateral stability of the vehicle during driving.
When driving on the road, it's best to keep the anti-skid system turned on and not tamper with it. This function is enabled by default and can monitor wheel slippage in real-time. For example, during sharp turns or when encountering slippery road surfaces, the system will automatically control the brakes and engine output to prevent the vehicle from skidding or losing control. Even during everyday driving on dry roads, you might encounter sudden situations—like the car in front braking abruptly, forcing you to steer sharply, or encountering gravel or oil stains on the road. Keeping the anti-skid system on provides an extra layer of safety. I've seen people turn it off to save fuel, only to nearly spin out while taking a turn in the rain. Unless you encounter special circumstances, like being stuck in deep snow or mud and needing to free the vehicle, that's the only time you should temporarily disable it. Remember to turn it back on immediately afterward—safety always comes first.
