In cars, the anti-slip function for rainy weather is controlled by the ESP button. The ESP system is usually enabled by default, and the button inside the car is used to turn it off. Drivers do not need to perform any operation in rainy weather as the anti-slip system will automatically function. If this system is turned off, it will not work. ESP stands for Electronic Stability Program, which reduces the power transmitted by the transmission to bring an out-of-control vehicle back on track. The working principle of ESP is: it judges the driving state based on sensor signals and uses a control unit for precise calculations. When the vehicle experiences spinning, understeer, or oversteer, it individually controls each wheel to enhance vehicle stability.

On rainy days for anti-skid, there's usually a button in the car labeled ESP or TCS OFF, but I generally don't touch it because the system automatically works to maintain traction in wet conditions. My experience is that if you accidentally press this button to deactivate the system when the road is slippery, the car can easily skid and lose control. You can find it near the steering wheel or on the center console, with locations varying by model—for example, sedans often have it on the left side of the dashboard, while SUVs may place it below the center console. When driving, I pay more attention to tire condition; if the tread is worn out, even the best anti-skid system won't help. So, I regularly check my tires and tire pressure, and slow down in the rain—these measures combined ensure safety. Once on a long trip during heavy rain, the system automatically engaged, helping me navigate a curve smoothly, which made me trust the factory settings even more.

From a safety perspective, the anti-slip button for cars in rainy weather is usually the traction control switch labeled TCS or similar. I don't recommend touching it during rain because when activated, the system automatically adjusts wheel power to prevent skidding. If you turn it off, accelerating or turning on slippery roads can easily lead to loss of control and accidents. Personally, I always check the button position and keep the system activated when driving, and I also make it a habit to anticipate weather changes in advance. In heavy rain, using the wipers on a slow setting and turning on fog lights can provide better illumination. Regular maintenance of tires and brake systems is also crucial to ensure overall safety. Don't rely solely on buttons; developing good driving habits is key to preventing skidding.
