TRC mechanism
The computer compares the tyre slip signals
from sensors connected to all 4 wheels. If
the signal from one of the driving wheels is
more than the other wheels, the computer will
interpret that the vehicle is slipping. A brake
may be applied to reduce the driving force
to the slipping tyre in order to control the slip.
TRC and tyre connection
• TRC relies on the signal from the sensors
connected to all wheels as a reference
for operation. If a different kind of tyre is
used for even one of the 4 wheels, the
signal output may be changed causing
the computer to detect a slip.
• The condition of the tyres has a large
influence on the system. Make sure that
all tyres are in good condition.
w WARNING
• Do not put so much confidence
in the TRC. Even when TRC is
operating, there is a limit to the
amount of traction and stability
control. Dangerous driving may
cause an unexpected accident.
• Always drive carefully and if the slip
indicator flashes, drive with extra
care.
CAUTION
All four tyres should be of the same size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern,
as well as free of wear. Installing tyres not
designated for your vehicle may cause TRC
to function incorrectly.
NOTE
• Usually, when you turn the ignition
switch to “ON”, TRC will be in a ready
state.
• When starting the engine or immediately
after the vehicle has started, you may
hear a clicking or thumping sound. This
is the sound of system operation check
and not a malfunction.
