Stability Control System (Scs) And Traction Control System (Tcs) - MG ZS Manual

STARTING & DRIVING
Stability Control System (SCS) and
Traction Control System (TCS)
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 torque to the opposite,
202
non-spinning wheel. If both wheels are spinning, the
system will reduce engine speed in order to regulate wheel
rotation until traction is regained.
Switching On/Off
SCS and TCS are automatically switched to standby when
the ignition switch placed in ON position
To switch the system off, please refer to "Information
Centre" in "Instruments and Controls" section.
Note: Disabling SCS and TCS will not affect the
operation of ABS. Always disable SCS/TCS when
driving with snow chains fitted.
