TCS (Traction Control System)
WARN ING!
This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of
the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected , brake
pressu re is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine
power is red uced to provid e enhanced acceleration and
stability. A featu re of the TCS system functions similar to 3
a limited slip differential and controls the wheel spin
across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is
spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the
brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine
torqu e to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning.
This featu re rem ains active even if TCS and ESP are in
either the “Partial Off” or “Full Off” modes. Refer to “ESP
(Electronic Stability Program )” in this section for more
inform ation.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brak e System ) cannot preven t the
natu ral law s of physics from actin g on the veh icle,
nor can it increase the traction afford ed by prevailin g
road condition s. ABS cannot preven t accid ents, in-
cluding those resu ltin g from excessive speed in
turns, drivin g on very slip pery surfaces, or hydro-
plan ing. Only a safe, atten tive, and skillfu l driver can
preven t accid ents. The capabilities of an
ABS-
equipped veh icle must never be exploited in a reck -
less or dangerou s manner which could jeop ard ize the
user’s safety or the safety of oth ers.
