TCS Function
- VDC/TCS/ABS control unit detects a spin at drive wheels by comparing wheel speed signals from all 4 wheels. At this time, output from control unit controls brake fluid pressure to both LH and RH rear wheels while cutting fuel to engine and closing throttle valve to reduce engine torque. Furthermore, throttle position is continuously controlled to insure appropriate engine torque at all times.
- Depending on road circumstances, driver may notice a sluggish feel. This is normal, because optimum traction has highest priority under TCS operation.
- When vehicle is passing through a road where surface friction coefficient varies, downshifting or depressing accelerator pedal fully may activate TCS temporarily.
- During TCS operation, it informs driver of system operation by flashing SLIP indicator lamp.
