Where is the anti-skid switch for the Volvo XC60?
1 Answers
The anti-skid switch for the Volvo XC60 is located below the gear lever on the driver's right side, marked with an "OFF" button. The main function of ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is to control the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle, ensuring it moves according to the driver's intentions. ESP is typically enabled by default unless manually turned off by pressing the "OFF" button. The anti-skid system is usually active, but it is not recommended to keep it on in the following situations: 1. When the vehicle is stuck in mud or during off-road driving. In cases of being stuck or other off-road scenarios, some wheel slip is necessary to help the vehicle escape or climb. Here, ESP's characteristic of preventing wheel slip can be counterproductive. Therefore, during extreme off-road conditions or when stuck, it's advisable to turn off ESP first to facilitate escape. 2. When encountering wheel slip while climbing on rainy or snowy days. On snowy or wet roads, especially when starting on an incline, wheels are prone to slipping. The system will detect the wheel slip and limit engine output, and ESP intervention may hinder progress. Thus, it's better to turn off ESP before attempting to proceed.
