Chassis: the 5 Toyota Traction Select modes
Standard ESP mode
This mode is calibrated for a low slip level, based on
various grip levels usually encountered on the road.
Snow mode
This mode adapts the strategy, for each of the front
wheels, to the grip conditions encountered upon starting.
(mode active up to 50 km/h)
All-terrain mode (mud, wet grass, etc.)
This mode authorises high slip on the wheel with
the least grip, to help remove mud and regain some grip.
In parallel, the wheel with the most grip is managed so as
to transmit as much torque as possible. As the vehicle
gains speed, the system optimises wheel slip to ensure
that the driver gets maximum responsiveness.
(mode active up to 80 km/h)
Off-road ESP:
Under exceptional conditions
(vehicle starting from stuck
position, immobilised in snow, on
loose soil, etc.), it may prove useful
to deactivate the ESP system to spin
the wheels to help restore their
grip.
Sand mode
This mode authorises slight slip on
the both drive wheels
simultaneously to move the vehicle
forward and limit the risks of
getting stuck in the sand. (mode
active up to 120 km/h)
