Triumph Speed 400 - Traction Control System (TC)

GENERAL INFORMATION
51
Traction Control (TC)
WARNING
The traction control system is not a
substitute for riding appropriately for
the prevailing surface and weather
conditions. The system cannot
prevent loss of traction due to;
excessive speed when entering turns,
accelerating at a sharp lean angle and
braking.
Traction control cannot prevent the
front wheel from slipping.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
Traction control helps to maintain
traction when accelerating on wet/
slippery road surfaces. If sensors detect
that the rear wheel is losing traction
(slipping), the traction control system
will engage and alter the engine power
until traction to the rear wheel has been
restored. The traction control warning
light will flash while it is engaged and
the rider may notice a change to the
sound of the engine. Traction control
will not function if there is a malfunction
with the ABS. The warning lights for the
ABS, traction control and the MIL will be
illuminated.
NOTICE
Scrambler 400 X only: Traction control
is switched off when in off-road mode.
Traction Control Settings
WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust the traction
control settings while the motorcycle
is in motion.
Adjusting the traction control
settings while riding the motorcycle is
dangerous.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
If the traction control is disabled, the
motorcycle will handle as normal but
without traction control.
In this situation accelerating too hard
on wet/slippery road surfaces may
cause the rear wheel to slip.
Failure to follow the advice above
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
The traction control can be set to one of
the following conditions:
ON
Optimal traction control setting
for road use, allows minimal rear
wheel slip.
OFF
Traction control is turned OFF.
The TC disabled warning light
will be illuminated (see page 30).
Traction control defaults to ON after
the ignition has been switched OFF and
then switched ON again.
