Where is the anti-skid switch for the 2015 Focus?

Look for the vehicle settings on the steering wheel buttons; turning off traction control means turning off anti-skid. Some configurations have it in the central control settings, while the lowest trim does not have an anti-skid switch. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Traction Control System (TCS), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) are all derivatives of the car's anti-skid system, with ESP being the highest form of the anti-skid system. More relevant information is as follows: 1. ESP: The main function of ESP is to control the vehicle's longitudinal and lateral stability, ensuring the vehicle moves according to the driver's intentions. Since ESP is enabled by default, it means that ESP should remain active under normal driving conditions. Under certain road conditions and vehicle load conditions, the maximum adhesion force that the wheels can provide is a fixed value, meaning that in extreme situations, the longitudinal force (along the rolling direction of the wheel) and the lateral force (perpendicular to the rolling direction of the wheel) are inversely related. The electronic stability program can control the longitudinal braking force of each wheel separately, thereby influencing the lateral force and improving the vehicle's handling performance. 2. Electronic Stability Program: When the longitudinal force reaches its extreme value (such as when the wheels lock), the lateral force becomes zero, at which point the vehicle's lateral movement becomes uncontrollable, leading to skidding. In such cases, the vehicle may not be able to change lanes or turn as the driver intends. The electronic stability program can detect and prevent vehicle skidding. When it detects that the vehicle is about to lose control, it applies braking force to specific wheels to help the vehicle move in the direction desired by the driver.
