PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
Traction control forms part of the stability
control system.
Note:
The system automatically turns on
every time you switch the ignition on.
Note:
Switching off the stability control will
turn off the system.
In certain situations (e.g. stuck in snow or
mud), turning the system off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin
with full engine power.
Traction control is an enhanced feature of
stability control system and automatically
detects the wheel spin when you
accelerate. If this situation occurs, the
system applies your vehicle brakes at
individual wheels and if necessary, reduces
engine power.
Note:
Shifting to 4x4 Low deactivates
engine traction control but brake traction
control remains active.
Note:
Switching on the electronic locking
differential will turn off the system.
To switch off the traction control, press
the traction control button located on the
floor console.
