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 as needed until traction
is restored.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
substitute for rid ing appropriately
for the con ditions. Traction control
cannot prevent loss of traction due
to excessive speed when entering
turns, when acceleratin g har d at a
sharp lean an gle, or while brakin g,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may be slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.
The “ ” indicator light flashes when
traction control has engaged. You may
notice slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sounds when the system has en-
gaged.
When the traction control system is
turned off, the “ ” indicator light will
come on.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on, the
traction control system is turned
on and set to the last used TCS
setting.
The current TCS setting is shown
in the TCS display (page 4-12).
TCS settin gs
TCS “OFF”
TCS “OFF” turns the traction control
system off.
TCS “1”
TCS “1” minimizes traction control
system assist.
TCS “2, 3, 4, 5”
TCS levels “2” through “5” sequentially
increase traction control system assist.
TCS “6”
TCS “6” maximizes traction control as-
sist; wheel spin is most strongly con-
trolled.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specifie d tires. (See
pa ge 7-21.) Usin g different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controllin g tire rotation
accurately.
