Traction control system
The traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power as needed until traction
is restored.

The traction control system is not a

The “

traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-
