What does TC displayed in the car mean?

[DeZane]

The appearance of TC in the car indicates that the Traction Control System is active. Here is some relevant information about the Traction Control System: 1. The Traction Control System, also known as the Track Control System or Anti-Slip Regulation System, is part of the vehicle's active safety systems. It is a slip control system adopted after ABS and serves as a further development and important supplement to ABS functionality. While the functionality of the Traction Control System is the same across different manufacturers, the names vary. For example: Mercedes-Benz calls it ASR, Toyota calls it TRC, BMW calls it DTC, and Cadillac calls it TCS. 2. TCS is the abbreviation for Traction Control System; ASR stands for Acceleration Slip Regulation. When braking on slippery surfaces, the wheels may skid, potentially causing loss of directional control. Similarly, during acceleration or rapid acceleration, the drive wheels may also skid, leading to dangerous loss of control on icy or other slippery surfaces. The Traction Control System is designed to address such issues.
