PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
The traction control system improves
traction when one wheel starts to
spin at vehicle speeds up to 40 km/h
(25 mph). If a wheel starts to spin, the
traction control system varies the
pressure to the brake of that wheel
until is stops spinning.
USING TRACTION
CONTROL
The traction control system is
operational when you switch the
ignition on.
The traction control indicator will flash
when the system is operating. Slowly
accelerate until the spinning wheel
regains its traction.
The traction control system will stop
working temporarily if used
excessively within a short period of
time. This is normal and has no effect
on the brake system.
The traction control system will
continue to operate when ESP is
switched off. The warning lamp in the
instrument cluster will
not flash in this
case.
