Traction Control

Traction control forms part of the stability

control system.

Note: The system automatically turns on

every time you switch the ignition on.

Note: Switching off the stability control will

turn off parts of the system.

Note: Shift to 4L will deactivate engine

traction control but brake traction control

remain active.

In certain situations (e.g. stuck in snow or

mud) turning the system off may be

beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin

with full engine power.

Traction control is an enhanced feature of

stability control system and automatically

detects the wheel spin when you

accelerate. If this situation occurs, the

system applies your vehicle brakes at

individual wheels and if necessary, reduces

engine power.

To switch off the traction control as

required, use the console mounted switch.
