which means that the road is slippery or that  
your vehicle’s wheels are beginning to slip.  
If this happens, drive slower with less accel-  
erator input.

tinues to increase due to continuous brake  
control on a slippery road surface, the in-  
dicator will blink. To prevent the brake sys-  
tem from overheating, the brake control of  
the traction control function will be tempora-  
rily suspended.
