spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the

brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine

torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning.

This feature remains active even if the ESC is in the

“Partial Off” mode.
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” (in

the instrument cluster) will start to flash as soon as the

tires lose traction and the wheels begin to spin. This

indicates that the TCS is active. If the indicator light

flashes during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator

and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt

your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions,

and do not switch off the ESC or TCS.

WARNING!

The TCS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics

from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the
traction afforded.

The TCS cannot prevent collisions, including those

resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydro-
planing.

The capabilities of a TCS-equipped vehicle must

never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner, which could jeopardize the user’s safety or
the safety of others.
