Traction Control System
(TCS)
The TCS prevents drive-wheel spinning
which occurs during acceleration from
a stop or acceleration during cornering
on slippery roads, such as wet or
snow-covered roads, and assures
optimum drive force and steerability.

Traction Control System (TCS)
Warning and Cautions for
Using the Traction
Control System (TCS)
WARNING
Do not rely on the Traction Control
System (TCS) as a substitute for safe
driving.
The Traction 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-covered roads is
dangerous. The Traction Control
System (TCS) alone cannot provide
adequate traction and you could still
have an accident.
