192 Driving and operating
Ride control systems
Traction control
system (TCS)
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 wheels are braked individually.
This considerably improves the
driving stability of the vehicle on
slippery road surfaces.
TCS is activated as soon as the
ignition is turned on.
Warning
Do not let this special safety
feature tempt you into taking
risks when driving.
Adapt speed to the road
conditions.
Operation
TCS can be deactivated when
spinning of drive wheels is required:
1. Press
= illuminates
To reactivate TCS:
1. Press again
TCS is also reactivated the next
time the ignition is turned on.
See Traction Control System
(TCS) off light on page 61.
Electronic stability
control (ESC)
The ESC:
• Improves driving stability in any
driving situation.
• Assists in maintaining vehicle
stability when the vehicle's grip
level is exceeded such as a
sudden lane change, slippery or
unexpected road conditions.
• Alters engine power and/or
braking on specific wheels,
improving the vehicle's steering
control and power delivery, on
wet or slippery roads, particularly
on snow and ice.
