Switching Reverse Braking Assist On and Off
You can switch the system on or off through
the touchscreen.
Note: The system is unavailable when rear
parking aid or cross traffic alert is off...
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...
Other information:
Safe operation of your vehicle requires
that your tires are properly inflated.
Remember that a tire can lose up to half
of its air pressure without appearing flat.
Every day before you drive, check your
tires. If one looks lower than the others,
use a tire gauge to check pressure of all
tires and adjust if required...
