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.

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

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.
