EAU54274
Traction control system
The traction control system helps
maintain traction when accelerating on
slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or
wet roads. If sensors detect that the
rear wheel is starting to slip (uncon-
trolled spinning), the traction control
system assists by reducing engine
power until traction is restored.
TIP
 The TCS indicator light will flash to
let you know that traction control
has engaged.
 Slight changes in engine and ex-
haust sound may also be notice-
able.
WARNING
EWA15433
The traction control system is not a
substitute for ri din g 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 b raking,
an d cannot prevent front wheel slip-
pin g. As with any vehicle, approach
surfaces that may b e slippery with
caution an d avoi d especially slip-
pery surfaces.
