o Drivingonrough,gravelorsnow-
covered roads.
!
CAUTION:
On slippery road surfaces, the traction
control system (TCS) limits the drive
wheelsfromspinningexcessively,thus
helping the car to accelerate. It also
provides sufficient driving force and
steering performance as the car turns
at accelerated speeds.
o Driving with tire chains installed.
o Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has different
surface height.
WhentheTCSindicatorblinks,SLIP
control has been activated. It also
means that the road is slippery or
yourcarisacceleratingexcessively.
In this situation, gently release foot
pressurefromtheacceleratorpedal
and maintain moderate speed.
During these conditions, the ve-
hicle should be driven at reduced
speeds. The safety features of an
ABS equipped vehicle should not
be tested by high speed driving or
cornering. This could endanger the
safety of yourself or others.
SLIP Control
Limits the drive wheels from spinning
excessively during starting or while
making accelerated turns on slippery
roads to avoid losing the driving force
of the front wheels.
!
WARNING:
Traction control is only a driving
aid; all normal precautions for driv-
ing in inclement weather and on
slippery driving surfaces should be
observed.
Driving hints
TCS does not actively apply brakes.
Be sure to decelerate the car suffi-
ciently before entering curves.
