What does 'off' mean when displayed on a car?
1 Answers
When 'off' is displayed on a car, it refers to the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, also known as the Anti-Skid Control System. This is an active safety system in automobiles that enhances vehicle handling safety and driving convenience. The 'off' light indicates that the vehicle's stability control system is either turned off or malfunctioning. The function of the Vehicle Stability Control System is to quickly detect and take appropriate braking measures in emergency situations such as sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking. It controls each tire individually while reducing engine output to maintain vehicle stability. Features of the Vehicle Stability Control System include: 1. Real-time monitoring of the driver's control actions; 2. Actively adjusting the engine throttle and speed, modifying wheel driving and braking forces, and correcting oversteering or understeering; 3. When the driver operates improperly or encounters abnormal road conditions, the system will alert the driver with a warning light.
