Under what circumstances should the car anti-skid button be used?
2 Answers
Since the car anti-skid button is turned on by default, it means that the car anti-skid button should be kept on during normal driving. The main function of the car anti-skid button is to control the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle drives according to the driver's intention. Additional information: The following situations are not recommended to turn on the car anti-skid button: 1. When the vehicle is stuck in mud or off-road: When the vehicle is stuck or in other off-road situations, appropriate wheel slip is needed to help escape and climb. 2. When encountering wheel slip during uphill driving in rain or snow: Because when starting on snowy or waterlogged roads, especially when going uphill, the wheels are prone to slip. At this time, the computer will identify the wheel slip and limit the engine output.
As a long-distance truck driver, I mainly use the anti-skid button in special road conditions. It's most prone to skidding when driving on icy roads in winter, so I press the button with the skidding car icon on the center console, and the system automatically adjusts power distribution to prevent fishtailing. It's also necessary to turn it on when driving through waterlogged sections after summer rainstorms, as wheels are particularly prone to hydroplaning when hitting puddles. It's indispensable on muddy mountain roads or gravel paths, intervening promptly when tires spin. However, it consumes more fuel and affects acceleration performance on dry asphalt roads during normal driving. Once, I avoided hitting guardrails during emergency braking on an icy bridge thanks to the anti-skid system, so now I always check its status when entering unfamiliar road sections.
