Traction Control System - Acura 2001 CL Owner's Manual

When starting out or driving at low
speeds on a loose or slippery road
surface, you may notice that the
vehicle does not respond to the
accelerator in the same way it does
at other times. This is a sign the TCS
is activating. You will see the TCS
indicator light flash.
You should still install winter tires on
your car during the winter. Make
sure to use the same size originally
supplied with vehicle. Exercise the
same caution in winter driving as you
would if your car was not equipped
with TCS.
Driving with the compact spare tire
installed (see page 272
activate the TCS. You should turn off
the system.
If the brakes overheat while the TCS
is activating, the TCS indicator will
stop flashing and stay on temporarily.
This indicates that the TCS system
has turned off. After the brakes have
cooled down (usually for about 10
minutes), the TCS will turn back on
and the indicator will turn off.
