What does it mean when the TRC is turned off in the Toyota Levin?
2 Answers
Toyota TRC off means the vehicle's traction control system is turned off. TRC is Toyota's term for the traction control system. Below is an introduction to the Toyota Levin: 1. Introduction: The Levin is a compact sedan based on Toyota's MC platform, deeply customized for Chinese consumers. It debuted on April 18, 2014, and was officially launched in the summer of 2014. The Levin is derived from the 11th-generation Corolla American version. 2. Exterior: The exterior design of the American version of the Levin was inspired by the North American raptor, the bald eagle, and the Levin inherits this sharp style. This striking exterior gives the Levin high recognition and creates a visually stunning impression. 3. Powertrain: The new car offers two powertrain options: a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 1.8L hybrid system.
When driving a Toyota Levin, if the TRC OFF button is lit, it means the traction control system is turned off. I've been driving for years and have tried turning off TRC a few times, like when wheels got stuck and spun in snow. Turning it off allows engine power to go directly to the wheels, helping the car pull itself out. But never turn it off during normal driving, especially in rain or when turning - if wheels spin wildly out of control, the car could fishtail or crash. It feels like removing a safety net, exciting but quite dangerous. I advise beginners to never touch this button, and experienced drivers should think carefully, only using it briefly when needed to escape trouble before immediately turning it back on. The TRC system works through wheel speed sensors and a control computer - turning it off means no computer assistance, putting everything on your driving skills and greatly increasing risk of mistakes. While turning off TRC can occasionally add some driving fun, it's mostly playing with safety. Always check the system is on properly before long trips.
