if u turn off any other driver aids along with this u can normally slide the car
its recommended you put traction control on when driving in icey conditions, the car will still slide if you apply the brakes or accelerate quickly tho
To let the drive know that the traction control is on.
If you are speaking of a car with traction control, it is the car letting you know the wheels are slipping and it has entered into traction control mode.
Traction is, at its essence, friction. It gives the tires grip, allowing the vehicle to move. Allowing it to accelerate, brake and corner. Without it(like on ice) you wouldn't have control of the car and it could spin out, slide off the road or run into of cars.
your traction control light came on because either you turned off your traction control or your car needs brake fluid
Steer into the slide and stay off the brakes! (push the clutch in if its a manual) - although this feels strange the first time you do it, it prevents the rear of the car from passing the front of the car - if that happens, you lost all control of the car, and if the rear wheels suddenly get traction, it can shoot the car forward in to the inside and cause an accident that would not otherwise would not occur. As you steer into the slide the rear wheels will gain traction and you will regain full control.
Traction Control ...
No, it does not
Direction
Traction Control ensures that there is enough traction i.e grip. If there will be too much power or a car might be on a frictionless smooth surface, the car might skid due to less traction and TC regulates power and ensures seemless driving
No it does not have traction control.
Traction control active, or traction control system malfunction.
