There are no benefits to turning off traction control. It is best to keep traction control on during daily driving. Here are the relevant details: 1. Definition of Traction Control System: The traction control system regulates the torque output of the engine to prevent the drive wheels from spinning on slippery surfaces such as snow, ensuring smooth starting and acceleration. 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 spin, making it a crucial safety feature. 2. Features of Traction Control System: The traction control system utilizes the existing ABS system's computer, wheel speed sensors, and engine and transmission control modules. Even if a spare tire is used, the TCS can still function accurately.

The biggest advantage of turning off traction control is that it allows you to drive more smoothly off-road or in snowy conditions. I often drive into the mountains for fun, and when encountering muddy roads or snow, the system mistakenly thinks the car is about to skid and automatically limits power, which can actually cause the car to get stuck. Once turned off, the engine can deliver full power, and a slight wheel spin can help the car climb out, significantly improving off-road capability. However, remember that this system is life-saving—keeping it on during normal road driving prevents sharp turns or rollovers in rainy conditions, so don’t turn it off recklessly. After off-road driving, always remember to turn it back on, as driving on highways without it can be dangerous.

Where to Check the Oil Dipstick?

The oil dipstick is located next to the engine, sometimes on top or at the side of the engine. It has a pull ring for easy identification. For vehicles equipped with an oil dipstick, you need to pull it out, wipe it clean, and then observe two dots or holes at the lower end. Some dipsticks may have 'H' and 'L' markings near these holes, indicating the upper and lower limits of the oil level. After wiping the dipstick clean, reinsert it fully, then pull it out again to check that the oil mark is between the 'H' and 'L' limits. Having too much or too little oil can adversely affect the engine. Nowadays, many vehicles come with an oil level sensor, allowing you to check the oil level directly on the dashboard, ensuring it stays between the 'H' and 'L' marks.

How many spark plugs does a car generally have?

Generally, a car has as many spark plugs as it has cylinders. The number of cylinders, and consequently the number of spark plugs, can be found in the car's manual. For specific models, you can consult the corresponding 4S store. The function of a spark plug is to discharge the high-voltage pulse electricity sent by the high-voltage wire, thereby breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plug to generate an electric spark, which then ignites the mixed gas in the cylinder. The operation of a car engine requires the combustion of fuel, and the electric spark that ignites the fuel is generated by the spark plug. Therefore, the quality of the spark plug affects the working efficiency of the engine. A spark plug mainly consists of a terminal nut, an insulator, a terminal stud, a center electrode, a side electrode, and a shell, with the side electrode welded to the shell.
