What are the benefits of turning off the TCS function?

There are no benefits to turning off the TCS function. Here are the specific details about TCS: 1. Function: It is best to keep the traction control system (TCS) turned on during daily driving. Generally, the traction control system (TCS) remains enabled by default, and some mid-to-high-end models may offer the option to turn it off. This system primarily limits the engine's torque output to minimize the risk of loss of control due to wheel slippage, and it has little to no effect on fuel consumption—it does not save fuel. 2. Principle: The system controls the engine's torque output to prevent the drive wheels from spinning on slippery surfaces such as snow, ensuring smooth vehicle acceleration and starting. Especially on snowy or muddy roads, the traction control system ensures smooth acceleration performance and prevents the vehicle from skidding or fishtailing due to wheel slippage. Therefore, traction control is a crucial function for driving safety.
