Open the driver's side door. Press the brake pedal. Press the one-button start key to start the engine. The dashboard will light up, indicating that the engine has started. There is a button inside the vehicle with a car pattern and the word "off" labeled below it. This button is used to turn off the vehicle's anti-skid function. You can also open the menu, go to settings, then to driver assistance, and turn it off on the driving computer. Use the steering wheel buttons to find vehicle settings, and turning off traction control is equivalent to turning off the anti-skid function.

I've been driving this old Ford Escort for eight years. The anti-skid button is right on the center console near the driver's knee position. Can you feel the button with a skidding car icon? Just press it directly when the vehicle is running, and a yellow warning light will pop up on the dashboard, showing that the anti-skid function is turned off. But let me remind you, after turning off this system, the car becomes particularly prone to skidding in rainy or snowy weather. Last time when I didn't turn it off and made a sharp turn on icy road, the car automatically corrected the direction for me. I can't imagine what would happen if it were turned off. Ford's design is quite reasonable - the system automatically resets after the engine is restarted.

Anyone who has driven a Ford knows their anti-skid system is particularly sensitive. Last time I helped a friend adjust his 2015 Escort, I found that turning it off is actually quite simple: locate the button with the skidding car symbol on the lower left dashboard near the steering wheel, then press and hold for 3 seconds. However, it's important to note that the vehicle must be in the started state, and there should be no obstructions near the air conditioning vents. Personally, I prefer to switch the wipers to automatic mode before turning it off—this way, when restarting the vehicle, if the wipers activate, it confirms the system has successfully reset.

Honestly, keeping the traction control off for a long time is quite dangerous, but if you need to disable it for drifting or getting unstuck in snow, the operation on a 2015 Ford Escort is very convenient. After starting the vehicle, locate the triangular button on the left side of the center console (usually just below the steering wheel), and press it until the yellow traction control indicator lights up on the dashboard. I remember watching professional racers perform once—they turned off this function in advance to execute drift maneuvers. But never try this on regular roads, as tire grip will deteriorate significantly.

Three simple steps: Start the engine, locate the button with a skidding car symbol near the light switch in the center console area, and press it until the yellow warning light appears on the dashboard. I once tried turning off this system when my car got stuck in mud, allowing the wheels to spin freely and escape. However, it's important to note that disabling it also deactivates the ABS, significantly increasing braking distance in rainy conditions. Restoring this function is easy—just turn off the engine and restart, and it will automatically reactivate.

What is the Difference Between Magnetic Ride Suspension and Air Suspension?

Magnetic ride suspension and air suspension differ in the following aspects: 1. Medium: Air suspension replaces physical springs with airbags, controlling the height and damping of the springs by adjusting the air pressure inside the bags. In contrast, magnetic ride suspension retains traditional springs but replaces conventional hydraulic oil with magnetorheological fluid inside the shock absorbers. 2. Focus: Magnetic ride suspension is designed more for handling and is commonly found in sports models, while air suspension emphasizes comfort and is more prevalent in luxury vehicles. In terms of technological sophistication, magnetic ride suspension is more advanced.

What is the reason why the car does not move after shifting gears?

When a car does not move after shifting gears, it is a comprehensive functional failure of the vehicle. The issue may involve the clutch, transmission, and drive axle. During inspection, it is necessary to first check whether the car's drive wheels are functioning properly, followed by examining the clutch. Gear shifting refers to the transmission, which is used to change the torque and speed of the engine crankshaft to meet the varying requirements of traction and speed for the drive wheels under different driving conditions, such as starting, accelerating, driving, and overcoming various road obstacles. The car's transmission allows the vehicle to maintain very low engine speeds and relatively low driving speeds, and it also enables the car to reverse, among other functions, making driving more convenient and efficient.
