TCS System

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE: Driving with the compact spare tire installed may activate the TCS. Turn off the system.

Traction Control System (TCS) is part of VSA system on "S" models with automatic transmission. It assists in maintaining traction while driving slowly on loose or slippery surfaces. The TCS assists only in low-speed, low-traction conditions; up to approximately 18 MPH (30 km/h) . TCS monitors the speed of all four wheels. When it senses a front wheel that losing traction, it applies braking to that wheel. The TCS indicator flashes when this occurs.

The Traction Control System turns on every time the engine is started, even it was turned it off the last time the vehicle was running. The TCS provides low speed traction.

If the brakes overheat while TCS is activating, the TCS indicator will stop flashing and stay on temporarily. This indicates that TCS has turned off. After the brakes have cooled down (usually within about 10 minutes), TCS will turn back on and the indicator will turn off.
