Ride control systems

Traction Control system
(TCS)
Traction control system (TCS)
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the driving wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the driving wheels start to
spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is brake
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
TCS is activated as soon as ignition
is ON.
