Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) is used to prevent excessive
wheel spin at standing starts, or during acceleration. Wheel spin
is usually caused by excessive use of the accelerator pedal, or
slippery, loose or bumpy road surfaces. When ESP is set to Urban
and Sport modes, this is set to full intervention. When the ESP is
set to Track or Off
1
the level of intervention is adjustable to allow
the driver to set the TCS to when they would like it to intervene.
Warning: It is always the drivers responsibility to drive
safely according to the law and with due regard to prevailing
conditions.
Warning: Traction control cannot overcome the
consequences of applying too much engine power for
conditions, and must never let the driver be tempted into
taking risks which could affect their safety or that of other
road users.
To prevent wheel spin and maintain vehicle stability in such
situations, the traction control system will:
• Brake either of the driven wheels when they start to slip.
• Adapt the engine and/or E-motor torque to a level
corresponding to the traction available on the road surface.
These symptoms are normal and will clear as wheel spin is
eliminated and normal engine power is restored.
If traction control operates when driving on extended icy or
slippery surfaces, reduce engine power as necessary until the ESP
warning symbol goes off.
