Traction Control PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The traction control system helps avoid drive wheel spin and loss of traction. If your vehicle begins to slide, the system applies the brakes to individual wheels and, when needed, reduces engine power at the same time. If the wheels spin when accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces, the system reduces engine power in order to increase traction. E179110 Note: A MyKey can be set up to prevent the MyKey user from switching the traction control system off. See MyKey™ (page 46). USING TRACTION CONTROL In certain situations, for example stuck in snow or mud, it may be beneficial for you to switch the traction control system off. This allows the wheels to spin with full engine power. Press the traction control button located on the instrument panel. It illuminates when you switch the system off.
