TS system (Traction Control System), the system of automatic control and prevention of skidding and slipping, warns, regardless of the condition of the road surface and the adhesion of tires to the road, slipping of the driving wheels.
This system monitors the speed of all wheels and reduces engine power as soon as one of the drive wheels begins to slip. If necessary, the slipping drive wheel is braked. As a result, especially in the presence of snow and ice cover, as well as on wet or slippery road surfaces, the driving stability of the vehicle and the efficiency of transferring the driving force to the road surface are increased.
The process of regulation by means of the TC system is indicated by the flashing of the signaling device. Engine power is reduced during the control process (engine sound changes).
The TC system is activated as soon as the ignition is switched on.
- when the ignition is on, the signaling device is on;
- it will go out after a few seconds, after the system has carried out self-control;
- The vehicle system is now activated and can carry out its task at any speed in combination with the anti-lock brake system ABS.
The system is not operational if:
- after the ignition is turned on, the signaling device does not light up;
- after turning on the ignition, the indicator will not go out;
- the signaling device constantly burns during the movement;
- there is a malfunction in the anti-lock braking device of the ABS brake system.
In the event of a malfunction, it is possible to continue driving. Depending on the acceleration and the condition of the road surface, the driving stability of the vehicle may decrease due to the slipping of the drive wheels.
Disabling the TC system
In special situations where slippage of the drive wheels is required, for example:
- driving with snow chains;
- driving in deep snow;
- "rocking" In deep snow, it may be useful to deactivate the TC system using the TC button.
Disabling is indicated by the TC signaling device.
By pressing the TC button again or each time the ignition is switched on, the system is switched on again.
