so low that a lot of wheelspin can occur rapidly:<br />
• When the car is pulling away or accelerating<br />
with the front wheels on different<br />
surfaces (e.g. one slippery and one dry),<br />
the TCS functions like an electronic differential<br />
lock, making sure that both wheels<br />
rotate at the same speed. The system<br />
also works during reversing.<br />
• When cornering, if the inside front wheel<br />
rotates faster than the other wheels.<br />
TCS indicator<br />
When the remote control is turned to position<br />
3, the lamp is lit for about 4 seconds<br />
while the system performs self-diagnosis.<br />
The indicator in the main instrument<br />
panel illuminates when TCS regulates, that<br />
is when one of the wheels has lost its grip.<br />
The fact that the TCS is operative indicates<br />
that the limit for grip has been exceeded and<br />
that the driver must exercise greater care.<br />
TCS OFF<br />
in the main instrument panel illuminates<br />
when<br />
• the system has been switched off manually,<br />
speed must be below 60 km/h.<br />
• there is a fault in the ABS system.<br />
• there is a fault in the TCS system, and<br />
at the same time the following message<br />
is shown on the DIC:<br />
Traction control failure.<br />
Contact service.<br />
Turning the TCS off temporarily<br />
The TCS is switched on automatically when<br />
the engine is started.<br />
It may be necessary to switch off the system<br />
if the car has become bogged down, for<br />
instance.<br />
If a fault is detected in the ABS, the TCS will<br />
be switched off automatically.<br />
The cruise control system (if active) will<br />
automatically be disengaged if the TCS is<br />
operative.<br />
