What does traction control mean? Learn how traction control works, what benefits it has for you as a driver and how the system works in practice.
Traction control, also known as traction control system or TCS (Traction Control System), is a function that is most often integrated into the electronic stability control system in vehicles. The system is designed to prevent the driving wheels from losing traction on the road. Traction control is activated when the engine power does not match the traction, for example in slippery road conditions. By reducing tire slippage, the system helps the driver maintain control of the vehicle.
