How Effective is Stability Control ?

[Blackseal]

How about Tata Nano?

 

 

The Nano is just like eating prata kosong

As others have said, different compaines used different names for so-called stability control and traction control. They don't used the same name, don't mean they don't have lor. I see stability assist an important feature whether in Icy condition or during a heavy downpour in tropical countries.

 

Civic or Honda Cars were made in many places. Some in Taiwan, some Thailand, some Japan and etc. Just like BMW and Mercz. KM markets made in Japan Civic in Singapore.

 

Last time, in fact not too many ten years long ago, not all cars have airbags. In case we want to compare the number of airbags since it is part of the safety features.

what's the difference between CSC and ESP etc etc....thought it is more or less the same except for the marketing trick???

It won't be as effective as a sensible driver.

Look at how many totaled cars you see on the roads with such features for a hint.

all i know is CSC=/=ESP=/=Traction control

[Cerano]

some mkes incorporate ESP with other driving aids like brake aid, brake vectoring etc.

You guys think Yom Yam & Truly Asia cars will come with such features? Not anything against the origin, but I heard some of these cars do not even have a heater (not that we need it here).

 

The management of the companies may argue that our region do not have the condition of the higher latitude Countries (Snow & ice) often enough to require such assists.

 

In fact I think we never have snow or frost in recorded history of Singapore (or South East Asia for that matter, other than maybe the highest mountains), but I could be wrong.

 

Do current TomYam cars like Civic & Vios have such features, can anyone verify.

 

Well guess what? Tom Yam Altis is definitely has stability control! It is called VSC.

I have used it once and it works like a breeze and save me from an accident.

 

some of the features are absolute not necessary in our region. i.e. heaters...

 

so Tom Yam cars are sometimes better than some MIJ cars maybe.....

Some stability control systems help when cornering or changing lanes. I don't think it is necessary for general road conditions in Singapore. More for icy or slippery conditions. I can't say if it will help if you're aquaplaning.

 

My only experience happened in a wet condo basement carpark floor when the concrete was really slippery (near car wash bay). Happened on 3 different occasions at the same place. Power immediately cut from the slipping wheel to the ones with grip. Effect was within a split-second.

Tried the same scenario like yours on several occasions....works everytime and it's a must have feature for all cars just like seatbelts

Yup, considering my ride is 2 tonnes. Might have caused quite a bit of damage if I hit anything after slipping.
