Should the X-Trail's Vehicle Stability System Be Kept On Normally?
1 Answers
The X-Trail's vehicle stability system is enabled by default. The system monitors the vehicle's driving conditions through sensors. When the vehicle shows a tendency to skid during driving, the stability system applies braking to the corresponding wheels to prevent skidding. In situations where the vehicle needs to suddenly avoid an obstacle during an emergency turn, if the wheels lose traction and start to slip, the stability system intervenes by applying braking force to the skidding wheels, reducing the risk of rollover. Below is relevant information: 1. The vehicle stability system usually has a physical switch. It is recommended to keep the system enabled during normal driving, as it can help reduce the probability of traffic accidents to some extent. 2. When the vehicle is stuck in mud or sand, the ESP should be turned off. In such cases, the vehicle typically requires a sudden, strong application of throttle to provide sufficient power to escape. However, if the ESP is enabled, it will apply braking to the wheels, limiting the engine's RPM and making it more difficult for the vehicle to escape the predicament.
