1. Traction control (TCS) is designed to automatically prevent wheel slip during starting, acceleration and movement on slippery surfaces and ensures stable vehicle handling. However, it should be borne in mind that on slippery road surfaces, even with the TCS system running, the driver cannot always control the movement of the car at high speed.
Warning: TCS does not provide active braking, so always slow down before cornering. When driving in mud or snow, depressing the accelerator pedal may not increase the engine speed.
2. When turning the key in the ignition lock to the position "ON" or "START" the TCS operation indicator lights up and goes out after a few seconds.
If the indicator does not illuminate, the TCS may be malfunctioning.
3. If the TCS indicator flashes while the vehicle is moving, the TCS is functioning to prevent wheel spin.
In this case, it is recommended to ease the pressure on the accelerator pedal and maintain a moderate speed.
4. When the vehicle is moving, the TCS indicator lights up only when the TCS switch is pressed (shutdown of the TCS system). If this indicator lights up when the wheels are spinning or when the vehicle is moving and does not go out, stop the vehicle and turn off the engine. If the indicator stays on even after starting the engine, the TCS may be malfunctioning.
5. If the vehicle is stuck in snow or mud, it may be necessary to turn the TCS on/off depending on the situation. Pressing the TCS switch turns off the system and the TCS indicator lights up. Pressing the switch again turns the system on and the TCS indicator turns off.
