Traction control optimises traction to prevent
wheel spin, by acting on the brakes of the
driving wheels and on the engine.
Active stability control acts on the brake of one

vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver.

Activation

These systems are activated automaticallyeach time the vehicle is started.
