What does TC mean in cars?

TC stands for Traction Control System, which enhances a vehicle's passability. Here is a partial introduction to TC: 1. The full English name of TC is Traction Control System, translated into Chinese as the Anti-Skid Traction Control System. It is a system designed to address wheel slippage. 2. The Traction Control System relies on electronic sensors to detect when the driven wheels' speed is lower than that of the driving wheels (a characteristic of slippage). Upon detection, it sends a signal to adjust ignition timing, reduce throttle opening, decrease acceleration, downshift, or apply braking to the wheels, thereby preventing further slippage.
TC in a car stands for Traction Control System, which I often rely on while driving, especially on slippery roads or during acceleration. When the wheels start to slip—for example, if you press the accelerator on a rainy day and the wheels spin—TC automatically intervenes by reducing engine power or applying brakes to the slipping wheels, stabilizing the car and preventing skidding or loss of control. I find it incredibly important, particularly when driving on mountain roads or in snowy conditions, as it helps avoid skidding accidents and reduces unnecessary trouble. Most modern cars come equipped with this feature. Remember, if you see the TC light illuminated on the dashboard, don’t ignore it—it could indicate the system is active or there’s a malfunction. For daily use, keeping the sensors clean and ensuring the battery is fully charged can make TC more reliable.
