Traction control system
The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by reducing engine
power until traction is restored.
TIP
The TCS indicator light will flash to
let you know that traction control
has engaged.
Slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sound may also be notice-
able.
