Traction Control System
The traction control system is an integral
part of electronic stability control.
The traction control system reduces engine
torque to prevent the wheels from
spinning. If additional intervention is
required to stop the wheels from spinning,
the vehicle will apply the rear brakes
individually. The traction control system
brakes individual drive wheels to prevent
them from spinning. This means that the
vehicle can accelerate on slippery surfaces.
WARNING: The traction control
system cannot reduce the risk of an
accident if you drive too fast.
Deactivating Electronic Stability Control
WARNING: When electronic stability
control is deactivated the risk of the
vehicle skidding is increased. Adapt
your driving style to suit road and
traffic conditions.
WARNING: Do not deactivate
electronic stability control unless on
a track and prevailing conditions are
suitable.
NOTE: When you deactivate
electronic stability control the
following conditions result:

The ‘ESC OFF’ warning light
illuminates

The light on the 'ESC OFF' button
illuminates

Electronic stability control no longer
improves driving stability

The engine’s torque is no longer
limited and the drive wheels could
spin

The anti-lock braking system
remains activated
Electronic Stability Control Dynamic Modes
The level of electronic stability control can
be adjusted to various dynamic modes to
suit the driver’s requirements and is
dependent on the handling mode currently
active.
Electronic stability control Dynamic modes
can be selected at any vehicle speed.
Ensure Sport or Track handling mode is
active. See Handling Control, page 2.23.
Sport Dynamic mode
1. Select Sport handling mode.
The electronic stability control is ON
by default.
2. Press the ESC OFF button briefly to
activate Sport Dynamic mode. This
allows more dynamic freedom over
the default ESC ON mode.
ESC DYN will be displayed on the Driver
Display.
