Traction control
ELECTRONICTRACTIONCONTROL
The purpose of electronic traction control is to
aid traction when one wheel on an axle spins
whilst the other stillhas good grip, e.g, if one
side of the vehicle is on ice and the other is on
tarmac. The system works by applying the
brake to a spinning wheel in order to transfer
torque to the other side of the axle.
NOTE: Traction control only operates below
approximately100 km/h.
The instrument panel has a traction control
warning light (TC) and, when appropriate,
traction control messages will also be
displayed in the message centre.
The warning light illuminates
whenever the system is active
(for a minimum of 2 seconds)
and is accompanied by the message centre
displaying ’TRACTION’. In the unlikelyevent
that traction control is used continuouslyfor
too long (in excess of approximately1
minute), then the control unit shuts down to
allow cooling and the warning light flashes for
at least ten seconds; this is accompanied by
the message centre displaying ’TRACTION
OVERHEAT’.
If there is a fault with the system, then the
warning light will illuminate continuouslyand
the message centre displays ’TRACTION
FAILURE’. If this occurs, you should contact a
Land Rover dealer at the earliest opportunity.
