Two types: a warning light when a tire is low on air and a pressure readout for each tire. | ||||||
Can be driven deflated for about 50 miles. Usually harm ride quality. Cars with these often have no spare tire. | ||||||
Uses the brakes to channel torque to the outside wheels and counteract understeer. Similar to stability control, but proactive, and acting to improve cornering performance rather than prevent loss of control. | ||||||
When a drive wheel slips, it is braked and/or engine power is reduced, restoring traction. | ||||||
