Activating traction control

Info
The traction control reduces excessive slip on the rear wheel in favor of more control and propulsion,
particularly in wet conditions.
When traction control is switched off, the rear wheel may spin more during high acceleration and on sur-
faces with low grip.
Traction control can be switched on or off during the ride.
The setting most recently selected is activated again when restarting.
