Drive Control Systems
Traction Control System (TC)
3
The TC ( T raction C ontrol System) 3
prevents the driving wheels from spinning,
irresp ective of the road condition and tyre
grip.
The system m onitors the rotational sp eed
of all wheels. As soon as at lea st one
driving wheel sta rts to spin, the engine
output is reduced (the sound of the engine
cha ng es) and the spinning wheel is b ra ked.
This improves the vehicle's directional
control and d riv ing power, particularly on
snow and ic e as well as on wet or slippery
road s.
The TC is ready for operation as soon as
the ignition is switched on and the control
indica tor = goes out.
When the TC is operating, = flashes.
The vehicle is now in a critical situation; the
TC allows you to keep control of the vehicle
and reminds you to match your speed to
the roa d conditions.
Do not let this special safety feature
tempt you into taking risks when driving.
Tra ffic safety can only b e ac hieved by
adopting a responsible d riv ing style.
