What do crawl and mts mean on a car?

All-terrain system and low-speed cruise control buttons. Below is a partial introduction about cruise control: 1. Introduction: Cruise control is used to maintain a constant speed for the vehicle. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the engine's fuel supply is controlled by the computer, which continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and the vehicle's driving resistance to maintain the set speed without throttle operation, reducing driver fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, thereby saving fuel. 2. Cancellation: Generally, cruise control is automatically deactivated when the driver presses the brake pedal or clutch.

To be honest, I often discuss this topic in off-road vehicle enthusiast groups. The 'crawl' on the car refers to crawl control, which is essentially a low-speed cruise control system. Especially when driving on rough and uneven terrain, it automatically allows the car to crawl at a very slow speed, maintaining balance and preventing it from getting stuck, without requiring you to press the accelerator. As for MTS, it stands for multi-terrain select, known in Chinese as 多地形选择 (multi-terrain selection). It lets you switch modes with one button, such as mud, sand, or rock roads, and the car automatically adjusts the chassis and power. These two features are quite common in Toyota Prado or Lexus models. When used together, even beginners can easily handle off-road adventures. Once, I was driving on the beach with MTS in sand mode and crawl control activated—the whole journey was smooth without getting stuck, which was incredibly hassle-free. Of course, they need to be paired with regular maintenance to perform at their best, so never overlook vehicle condition checks.

From my experience with automotive mechanisms, crawl control is an electronic low-speed control system that helps the vehicle maintain a constant slow speed on rough terrain, such as preventing skidding when descending steep slopes or crossing rocky areas. MTS, or Multi-Terrain Select, allows switching driving modes based on different road conditions, with the system automatically adjusting traction and engine output. These features are commonly found in SUVs, such as the Toyota models I'm familiar with. They work together through sensors and the ECU to enhance off-road performance and reduce vibrations. For daily use, MTS can prevent side slipping on rainy or muddy roads, while crawl control can also be manually activated in urban traffic congestion to increase safety. The key is to fully understand these functions to use them effectively, so I recommend checking the vehicle manual.

Crawl Control and MTS are crucial for driving. Crawl Control enables the vehicle to move smoothly at low speeds, especially in off-road or parking scenarios; MTS stands for Multi-Terrain Select, allowing drivers to choose modes suitable for conditions like sand. Together, they enhance traction and safety, preventing accidents.
