Traction Control System - Yamaha XMAX CZD300M 2021 Owner's Manual

Instrument and control functions

Traction control system

The traction control system (TCS)
helps maintain traction when acceler-
ating on slippery surfaces, such as un-
paved or wet roads. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is starting to slip
(uncontrolled spinning), the traction
control system assists by regulating
engine power until traction is restored.
When traction control has engaged,
the " " indicator light will flash. You
may notice changes in engine re-
sponse or exhaust sound.
WARNING
5
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately
for the conditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when accelerating hard at a
sharp lean angle, or while braking,
and cannot prevent front wheel slip-
ping. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution and avoid especially slip-
pery surfaces.

TIP
Turn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 8-19.) Using different sized
2
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
"
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few
