Traction Control System (TC)
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 14.
The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on.
The warning light comes on when driving when a control cycle is activated.
The warning light illuminates permanently if there is a fault in the TCS.
The fact that the TCS operates together with the ABS means that the TCS warn-
ing light will also come on if the ABS system is not operating properly.
If the warning light
comes on immediately after starting the engine, the TCS
can be switched off for technical reasons. In this case, the TCS can be switched
on again by switching the ignition on and off. If the warning light goes out, the
TCS is fully functional again.
