Activating traction control

Info
The traction control reduces excessive slip on the rear wheel in favor of more control and propulsion, par-
ticularly in wet conditions.
When traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin more during high acceleration and on sur-
faces with low grip.
Traction control can be switched on or off during the ride.
The setting most recently selected is activated again when restarting.

Starting off

–
Press and hold the TC button
simultaneously.
The TC indicator lamp and the QS indicator lamp flash
when launch control is activated.
Info
The launch control is deactivated automatically for a
few seconds after the vehicle has started.
Launch control is also deactivated in the following
cases: if the throttle valve is closed more than 1/3 of
the way after full throttle, and/or if there is no start
within 3 minutes.
For safety reasons, the engine must be switched off for
at least 10 seconds before the launch control can be
activated again, regardless of whether the vehicle has
been started or not.
If the engine has already been running for some time,
the engine must first be restarted before the launch
control can be activated.
