What does low traction start mean?

This is turned on when towing objects, such as trailers or motorcycles. Normally, it should be set to the off state. The lower the gear, the greater the torque output to the drive wheels, and the greater the traction. Here are the reasons: 1. The principle of greater traction in lower gears: A car engine has two key parameters—engine power (measured in horsepower) and torque (measured in Newton-meters). The greater the engine power, the faster the engine runs; the greater the engine torque, the greater the traction and acceleration. In simple terms, "power" refers to how fast the engine can rotate, while "torque" refers to how much force the engine can provide to the wheels when the tires interact with the ground. Power and torque cannot be increased simultaneously. Torque can often be significantly improved at low speeds, while the engine's maximum power is generally fixed. When a car is going uphill, it needs greater torque to overcome the friction between the ground and the tires, as well as the gravitational force pulling the car downhill. Therefore, the car needs to downshift when climbing. 2. Physics formulas: (1) W = Fs = Fvt (Work done = Force × Distance = Force × Velocity × Time); (2) P = W/T (Power = Work divided by Time); From these two formulas, P = Fv. When shifting to a lower gear, the speed decreases, so the traction increases.
