Traction control (where fitted)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The traction control system improves
traction when one wheel starts to spin at
vehicle speeds up to 40 km/h. If a wheel
starts to spin, the traction control system
varies the pressure to the brake of that
wheel until is stops spinning.
USING TRACTION
CONTROL
The traction control system is operational
when you switch the ignition on.
The traction control indicator will flash
when the system is operating. Slowly
accelerate until the spinning wheel
regains its traction.
The traction control system will stop
working temporarily if used excessively
within a short period of time. This is
normal and has no effect on the brake
system.
The traction control system will continue
to operate when DSC is switched off.
The warning lamp in the instrument
cluster will not flash in this case.
