Traction control system (TCS)

Traction control is a driver aid feature that helps your vehicle maintain

traction of the wheels, typically when driving on slippery and/or hilly

road surfaces, by detecting and controlling wheel spin.

Excessive wheel spin is controlled in two ways, which may work

separately or in tandem: engine traction control and brake traction

control. Engine traction control works to limit drive-wheel spin by

momentarily reducing engine power. Brake traction control works to limit

wheel spin by momentarily applying the brakes to the wheel that is

slipping. Traction control is most active at low speeds.

During traction control events the “sliding car” icon

in the instrument

cluster will flash.

If the traction control system is activated excessively in a short period of

time, the braking portion of the system may become temporarily disabled

to allow the brakes to cool down. In this situation, traction control will

use only engine power reduction or transfer to help control the wheels

from over-spinning. When the brakes have cooled down, the system will

regain all features. Anti-lock braking, RSC威, and ESC will continue to

function during the cool-down period.

The engine traction control and brake traction control system may be

deactivated in certain situations. See the Switching off AdvanceTrac威

with RSC威 section following.

Electronic stability control (ESC)

Electronic stability control (ESC) may enhance your vehicle’s directional

stability during adverse maneuvers, for example when cornering severely

or avoiding objects in the roadway. ESC operates by applying brakes to

one or more of the wheels individually and, if necessary, reducing engine

power if the system detects that the vehicle is about to skid or slide

laterally.

During ESC events the “sliding car” icon

in the instrument cluster

will flash.

Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate the ESC system, which

include but are not limited to:

• Taking a turn too fast

• Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle

• Driving over a patch of ice or other slippery surfaces

• Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road
