Traction control function
On slippery surfaces, the traction control function prevents the drive wheels from excessive spinning, thus helping the vehicle to start moving from a stopped condition. It also provides sufficient driving force and steering performance as the vehicle turns while pressing the acceleration pedal.
Caution
► When driving a vehicle on a snowy or icy road, be sure to install snow tyres and drive the vehicle at moderate speeds.
