Understanding Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) Features and Its Usefulness in Daihatsu Cars
Every four-wheeled driver knows that caution while driving a car is a common practice. However, did you know that efforts to prevent accidents while driving are not enough if they only rely on caution? There needs to be support from competent safety features, one of which is the VSC feature.
What is the VSC Feature?
VSC or Vehicle Stability Control is a feature that can detect and prevent oversteer, understeer, or tire slippage while driving in a turning area.
As the name suggests, this feature functions to control the speed and stability of the vehicle while it is on its path. Especially when passing through winding roads and when changing lanes.
The way it works is that the system will automatically help reduce engine power when the vehicle experiences wheel slip or loses traction on one of its wheels.
In such conditions, the VSC feature will effectively apply brakes to the wheel that needs it the most. So that the car will continue to move in the right direction without spinning or going off its turning path.
In fact, there are also several car models that use the VSC system by reducing the throttle pull.
This means that when the driver is pressing the gas while turning at a corner, the gas will not automatically increase in speed, but rather slow down. This can happen according to the needs detected by the system.
Thus, every driver will be able to control the vehicle and maintain its stability when maneuvering safely.
Why is the VSC Feature Important for Every Vehicle?
This advanced safety feature is very important because it can prevent potential traffic accidents due to understeer and oversteer events while driving on winding paths.
This feature is necessary because not all tires have the same traction capability when turning. This is what causes both front and rear-wheel drives to slip and cause your car to go off the turn.
Moreover, if the road is slippery or sandy, the potential for the car's wheels to slip and lose control will be much greater. Thanks to the VSC feature, drivers can better control their vehicles to avoid spin and slip.
So important is it that in 2018, the Malaysian government also planned to issue regulations requiring new cars to be equipped with VSC features. As has been implemented by countries in Europe and America.
According to research from IIHS (Insurance for Highway Safety) in the United States, the presence of this advanced feature is believed to reduce the risk of accidents by up to 56 percent.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this smart safety feature must be present in every four-wheeled vehicle product, one of which is in the latest SUV product, the All New Terios from Daihatsu.
