WHY YOUR VDC, VSC & ABS WARNING LIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED
WHY YOUR VDC, VSC & ABS WARNING LIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED
Have you ever had your ABS or VSC, or warning lights come on; or are you even driving your car with the warning lights on; or do you know someone who does?
We’ve got a piece of advice for you. Visit a competent auto repair garage Immediately!
The Anti-lock braking system(ABS), Vehicle Dynamic Control(VDC) and the Vehicle Stability Control(VSC) are active electronic safety systems�equipped in your modern vehicle to keep you safe during emergency braking.
While the ABS functions to help you maintain traction(road grip), by preventing your wheels from locking during sudden emergency hard braking, causing your vehicle to skid and lose control, the VDC functions to prevent your car from skidding off the road during sharp bending.
The VSC similarly is an active safety system that functions to help you maintain vehicle stability and control of your vehicle in the event of over-correction during emergency maneuvers or on slippery surfaces.
All three systems are electronic, and work with data constantly received from your wheel speed and steering angle sensors, interpreting the data and send relevant action instructions to your brake system and engine.
These systems work constantly and are highly intelligent systems. Improper functioning of any of them could expose you to danger on the road.
It’s therefore extremely important that you heed the warning lights whenever they come on, and get a competent technician to diagnose and resolve any problems that may have ignited the warning lights.
Remember, as we always say, it’s great to move your fantastic car, but it’s vital to bring it to a safe stop whenever you wish to do so.

I bet we all can agree that bumper to bumper driving is so common on Nigerian roads. And this has led to a lot of avoidable multiple crashes some of which have been fatal.
Keeping a safe braking distance could save you from a multiple crash!
Often times cars drive on highways at very close distances from one another, some as close as 20meters or less apart.
It may interest you to know that according to Australia’s leading driving training organisation Murcotts Driving Excellence, it takes averagely 44minutes to bring a vehicle traveling at 65kilometers an hour to a stop.
So to brake safely in the event of an emergency, when driving at 65,kilometers an hour, you need about 50meters between you and the vehicle ahead of you.
The next time you feel the urge to drive bumper to bumper on the Third Mainland Bridge, remember this warning from the Murcotts driving Excellence.
