The traction control lowers the tightening torque in case of loss of traction in the rear
wheel. Depending on the traction control setting, a slight slip on the rear wheel may be
desirable. Example: Offroad.
Info
When traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin during high accelera-
tion and on surfaces with low grip.
After the ignition is switched back on, traction control is enabled again.
Traction control is controlled via the "Drive Mode" ( p. 187) menu on the combination
instrument. Traction control can be switched off in the "MTC/ABS" menu.
