NOTE:
- Traction Control (TC) represents an extension of the ABS system and is a combination of anti-slip control (ASR) and Automatic Brake Differential (ABD).
TC prevents spinning of the drive wheels when moving off and accelerating. Driving stability and traction are improved over the entire speed range.
Traction Control (TC) is ready for operation whenever the engine is started.
The TC information light in the instrument panel is lit during a control process and warns that the driving style must be matched to road conditions.
