Ride control systems
Traction Control system The Traction Control system (TC) is a component part of the Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) which
improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the type of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and
the wheel spinning the most is braked
individually. This considerably
improves the driving stability of the
vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
The Traction Control system is
operational as soon as the ignition is
switched on and control indicator b
extinguishes in the instrument cluster.
A corresponding message also
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 103.
