your driving accordingly.
Traction Control System (TCS)
The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road
conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one
or more of the wheels are spinning or beginning to lose
traction. When this happens, the system works the
brakes and reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
This light flashes while the
traction control system is
limiting wheel spin.
The system may be heard or felt while it is working,
but this is normal. This light may also come on
after extended heavy braking indicating the brakes
have become too hot to limit wheel spin.
