TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The Traction Control System (TCS)
helps the vehicle accelerate on slip-
pery road surfaces by preventing the
drive wheels from spinning exces-
sively. It also provides improved dri-
ving force and steering.
TCS operation
TCS ON condition
• When the ignition is turned
-
ON, TCS and TCS OFF
indicator light illuminate for
approximately 3 seconds,
then TCS is turned on.
• Press the TCS OFF button
to turn TCS off. (TCS OFF
indicator will illuminate). To
turn the TCS on, press the
1KMA2127
TCS OFF button (TCS OFF
indicator light will go off).
• When starting the engine,
you may hear a slight tick-
ing sound. This is the TCS
performing an automatic
system self-check and does
not indicate a problem.
Driving your vehicle
When operating
When the TCS is in opera-
TCS
tion, TCS indicator light
blinks.
• When the traction control
system is operating prop-
erly, you can feel a slight
pulsation in the vehicle.
This is only the effect of
brake control and indi-
cates nothing unusual.
• When moving out of mud
or driving on a slippery
road, pressing the accel-
erator pedal may not
cause the engine rpm
(revolutions per minute) to
increase.
