Brake Traction Control System (BTCS)

Brake traction control uses controlled braking of the spinning driving wheel, when the grip at the driven wheels are different.

The BTCS system is only active at road speeds up to 85 km/h (53 mph). When the system is active the driver is made aware of the fact by the illumination of a warning indicator located in the instrument cluster.

The spinning wheel is braked by the ABS system.

This transfers a greater proportion of the engine torque through the differential to the other driven wheel, thereby increasing the utilization of the available traction control works at all speeds below 50 km/h.
