Drive Control Systems

Traction Control System (TC
P lu s
The TC prevents the driving wheels from
spinning, irrespective of the road
conditions and ty re grip.
The system monitors the rotational speed
of all wheels. As soon as at least one
driving wheel starts to spin, the eng ine
output is reduced (the sound of the engine
changes) a nd the spinning wheel is braked.
This im proves the vehicle's directional
control and driving power, particularly on
snow and ice as well a s on wet or slippery
roads.
