Traction Control
ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL
Traction Control
The purpose of electronic traction control is to
maintain forward or rearward momentum of the
vehicle when one or more wheels are spinning
while others have good grip, e.g. if one wheel is
on ice and others are on tarmac. The system
works by applying the brake to a spinning wheel
in order to transfer torque to the remaining
wheels.
NOTE: Traction control can operate up to
speeds of 62 mph (100 km/h).
Warning light
The instrument panel has a traction
control warning (TC) which
illuminates for a minimum of 2
seconds whenever the system is active and also
illuminates as a bulb check (for approximately
3
seconds) when the starter switch is turned to
position ‘II’.
If there is a fault with the system, the warning
light will illuminate continuously and remain
illuminated when the vehicle is stopped, in
which case you should contact your retailer at
the earliest opportunity.
NOTE: Faults with the ETC system will
invariably cause the Hill Descent Control
warning light to illuminate too. In most cases
the ABS and brake system lights will also
illuminate.
