Traction Control

USING 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: Shift to 4L will deactivate engine
traction control but brake traction control
will remain active.
In some situations for example if your
vehicle is 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.
Note: Shifting to 4x4 Low deactivates
engine traction control but brake traction
control remains active.
To switch off the traction control, See
Using Stability Control (page 148).
Stability control will remain on even when
you have switched the traction control off.
