These are the 5 cheapest cars in Malaysia with adaptive headlights

It’s impressive how many modern cars today offer advanced safety features. It wasn’t that long ago that advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suites were only offered on expensive, high-end cars. Now, even cars like the Perodua Axia offer ADAS and even some like the underrated Nissan Almera offer autonomous emergency brakes (AEB) as standard. These driving aids help enhance the vehicle’s safety, so much so that ASEAN NCAP has revised its methodology beginning from 2021. Also read: 2021 Perodu

Stability control is not the same as traction control

Last week, we shared our insights on traction control and how does the system work, and due to the nature of the topic, we have readers that got it confused with the stability control system instead. In a world full of jargon and acronym, this is understandable, because both safety systems do work hand-to-hand to keep you safe. What is stability control? You might have heard various acronym of stability control such as ESC, VDC, DSC, and ASC, but don’t be puzzled because it’s all the same thing.

When you should turn off traction control?

First of all, what is traction control? As the name suggests, the traction control system (or commonly referred to as TC, TRC, or TCS) is a safety feature designed to prevent your car from losing traction. When accelerating, its main task is to stop the wheel from skidding, slipping and/or spinning, especially going through a loose surface.
