A traction control system (TCS) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent loss of traction, which can lead to skids and accidents. TCS works by applying the brakes to individual wheels that are losing traction, helping to keep the vehicle on course.
TCS can be important for maintaining control of a vehicle in slippery conditions, such as on wet or icy roads. It can also be helpful in preventing accidents when accelerating or cornering. TCS is typically activated automatically when the vehicle is started, but it can be turned off manually if desired.
