Traction Control System

(TCS)

í

The Traction Control System (TCS)

enhances traction and safety by

controlling engine torque and braking.

When the TCS detects driving wheel

slippage, it lowers engine torque and

operates the brakes to prevent loss of

traction.

This means that on a slick surface, the

engine adjusts automatically to provide

optimum power to the drive whee ls

without causing them to spin and lose

traction.

WARNING

Do not rely on the traction control

system as a substitute for safe driving:

The tract ion control system (TCS)

cannot compensate for unsafe and

reckless driving, excessive speed,

tailgating (following another vehicle

too closely), and hydroplaning

(reduced tire friction and road contact

because of water on the road surface).

You can still have an accident.

Use snow tires or tire chains and drive

at reduced speeds when roads are

covered with ice and/or snow:

Driving without proper traction

devices on snow and/or ice-co vered

roads is dangerous. The traction

control system (TCS) alone cannot

provide adequate traction and you

could still have an accident.
