“Manual TCS Settin
g”
This module allows you to customize
the “TCS-MODE M” which is accessi-
ble on the main display using the
MODE switches.
TCS
This model uses a variable traction
control system. For each setting level,
the further the vehicle is leaned over,
the greater the amount of traction con-
trol (system intervention) is applied.
There are 3 setting levels available for
the “TCS-MODE M”. Setting level 1 applies the least amount
of overall system intervention, while
setting level 3 applies the greatest
amount of overall traction control.
TIP
TCS can only be turned on or off
via the main display using the
MODE switches.
 SCS and LIF can be turned off in-
dependently of TCS for “TCS-
MODE M”.
 When “TCS-MODE” has been set
to “OFF” on the main display:
TCS, SCS and LIF are all turned
off together.SCSSCS can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3.
OFF turns the slide control system off,
setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention, and
setting level 3 provides the greatest
amount of system intervention.
LIFLIF can be set to OFF, 1, 2, and 3. Setting level 1 provides the least
amount of system intervention and set-
ting 3 most strongly reduces the rate of
wheel lift.
OFF turns LIF off.
