when traction control has been turned
off.
The TCS display indicates the current
TCS setting. There are three settings.
TCS “OFF”
: Turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1”
: Minimizes traction control
system assist.
TCS “2”
: Maximizes traction control
assist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on,
traction control is turned on and
set to “1” or “2” (whichever was
last selected).
Turn the traction control system
off to help free the rear wheel if the
vehicle gets stuck in mud, sand, or
other soft surfaces.
