Default Car with squiggly lines symbol: Meaning

Whenever the car running above wavy lines symbol lights up, it means your vehicle's stability control system has been activated. When a feature in a car performs its function, the light illuminates. In certain cases, the symbol is accompanied by the word "off." In this case, your stability control function has been disabled.

When the car’s stability control feature is toggled on or off in an automobile, the button usually depicts the same car and wavy lines sign. If, on the other hand, you're certain you didn't switch it off yet the light stays on, there's a problem with the system. If such situation occurs, we strongly advise taking it to the local casa of your car brand to have it repaired. Stability control in more updated autos is frequently accomplished through fast and minute adjustments. Stability control may now make changes very quickly.

Stability control, as you can see, is an essential safety function for many drivers in certain driving conditions. Wet, muddy, or sandy roads, to name a few, can take away a car's control. As a result, this mechanism is among the limited features keeping you from slipping or worse, crashing. Some advanced stability systems even bypass the car's anti-lock brake system and can lock the car’s wheels when the brakes become engaged.

The tires will be able to maintain consistent grip in this manner. This capacity may vary depending on specialty automobile types, although it is widespread on automobiles. It could even connect with the vehicle's differential lock or make adjustments to improve grip.

But, exactly, what does stability control entail?
The stability control system in a car applies the brakes to help steer the vehicle and/or keep the driver in control. When the system detects a lack of traction or steering control, it applies the proper amount of brakes, as commanded by the car's computer. It also assists in counteracting the effects of oversteer and understeer in this way.
