The traction control system helps avoiddrive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheelsand, when needed, reduces engine powerat the same time. If the wheels spin whenaccelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,the system reduces engine power in orderto increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
The system automatically turns on eachtime you switch the ignition on.
Note:In some situations for example if yourvehicle is stuck in snow or mud, turning thesystem off may be beneficial as this allowsthe wheels to spin with full engine power.
Switching the System Off and OnUsing the Information DisplayControls
Your vehicle comes with this featurealready enabled. If required, you can switchthis feature off using the informationdisplay controls. See GeneralInformation (page 86).
Stability control will remain on even whenyou have switched the traction control off.
Switching the System Off and OnUsing the Button (If Equipped)
The button is located in the instrumentpanel.
Press the button. You will see a messagein conjunction with an illuminated icon inthe display. Press the button again toreturn the system to normal mode.
Stability control will remain on even whenyou have switched the traction control off.

With ESPB
The system supports stability when yourvehicle starts to slide away from yourintended path. The system performs thisby braking individual wheels and reducingengine torque as required.
The system also provides an enhancedtraction control function by reducingengine torque if the wheels spin when youaccelerate. This improves your ability topull away on slippery roads or loosesurfaces, and improves comfort by limitingwheel spin in hairpin bends.
