STARTING AND DRIVING
Stability Control System and Traction
Control System

Stability Control System (SCS)

SCS is designed to assist the driver in control of driving
direction. The SCS is automatically activated after the
engine is started.
When SCS detects that the vehicle is not moving in the
intended direction, it will intervene by applying brake force
to selected wheels or through the engine management
system to prevent sliding and assist in bringing the car back
to the right direction.

Traction Control System (TCS)

The purpose of electronic traction control is to aid
traction, thereby helping the driver to maintain control
of the car in situations where one or both of the driving
wheels are spinning (for example, if one wheel is on ice
and the other on tarmac).
The traction control system monitors the driving speed of
each wheel individually. If spin is detected on one wheel,
the system automatically brakes that wheel, transferring
144
torque to the opposite, non-spinning wheel. If both wheels
are spinning, the system will reduce engine speed in order
to regulate wheel rotation until traction is regained.
Note: The individual wheel braking feature of the
traction control system will not operate at road
speeds above 62 MPH (100 km/h). The engine torque
reduction feature continues to function up to the car's
maximum speed.
