The traction control system (TC, Traction Control) is a component of Electronic Stability Control.

TC improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the road surface type or tyre grip, preventing the driven wheels from spinning.

As soon as the driven wheels start to spin, engine power is reduced and the wheel that is spinning the most is braked individually.

This considerably improves vehicle stability, even on slippery roads.

TC is operational as soon as the indicatorgoes out.
