What Functions Should Be Turned On When Driving in the Rain?

When driving in the rain, you should turn on the automatic headlights, ESP (Electronic Stability Program) and TCS (Traction Control System), automatic wipers, and rearview mirror heating function. Automatic Headlights: During rainy weather, the sky is often gloomy, which can easily affect visibility. In such conditions, it's necessary to turn on fog lights or width indicators to alert other vehicles and prevent collisions. Automatic headlights will turn on or off based on the external light conditions. ESP and TCS: Rain makes the road surface slippery, significantly reducing tire grip. Speeding or sudden steering can cause the vehicle to skid. Activating ESP and TCS allows the system to adjust the wheels effectively if the vehicle loses control, helping to prevent accidents. Automatic Wipers and Rearview Mirror Heating: Raindrops on the windshield can obstruct the driver's view, and fog on the windows can further impair visibility. If the vehicle is equipped with automatic wipers, the system can detect moisture and automatically clean the windshield, adjusting the wiper frequency to maintain clear visibility. Similarly, the rearview mirror heating function quickly removes moisture, ensuring the driver has a clear view.
