If spin is detected on one wheel, to turn off SCS and TCS. the system automatically brakes that wheel, Note: Press the SCS switch (more than transferring torque to the opposite, non- spinning wheel. If both wheels are spinning, 10 seconds), it will be regarded as the system will reduce the output torque of misoperation. the power system in order to regulate wheel rotation until traction is regained. 153
