TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
This system helps to limit skidding
by the drive wheels and to control
the vehicle when pulling away or
accelerating.
This function is an
additional aid in the
event of critical driving
conditions to allow the
behaviour of the
vehicle to be adapted to the
driving conditions.
However, the function does not
take the place of the driver. It
does not increase the vehicle's
limitations and should not
encourage you to drive more
quickly.
It can, thus, under no
circumstances replace the
vigilance or responsibility of the
driver when manoeuvring the
vehicle (the driver must always
be aware of sudden incidents
which may occur when driving).
Operating principle
The system uses sensors in the
wheels to constantly measure and
compare the speed of the drive
wheels and prevents them spinning.
If a wheel is tending to skid, the
system brakes automatically until
the drive delivered becomes
compatible with the level of grip.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the force
applied to the accelerator pedal.
When the function is in operation,
warning light 1 flashes.
