Drive Control Systems
Traction Control System (TC) 3
Th e T C ( Traction Con t ro l Sy st e m ) 3
prevents the driving wheels from spinning,
irresp ective of the road condition and tyre
grip.
The system monitors the rotational speed
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
changes) and the spinning wheel is braked.
This improves the vehicle's directional
control and d riving power, particularly on
snow and ic e as well as on wet or slippery
ro a d s.
The TC is ready for operation as soon as
the ignition is switched on and the control
indicator v goes out.
When the TC comes into action, v 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.
Traffic safety can only b e achieved by
adopting a responsible driving style.
