What does 'off' mean on a car?
1 Answers
In cars, 'off' refers to the deactivation button for the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, which is enabled by default. Pressing and holding this button turns the system off. The Vehicle Stability System is an anti-skid device that can control both drive wheels and driven wheels, incorporating ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation) systems. The system operates by calculating data collected from sensors to determine the vehicle's status, then comparing it with pre-set values stored in memory. When the computer detects that the calculated data exceeds the stored thresholds - indicating the vehicle is approaching or has entered a loss of control situation - it activates the actuators to help maintain driving conditions that align with the driver's intentions as closely as possible.
