Sentences with phrase «while slippery conditions»

Most other electronic AWD systems are similar, but HTRAC pushes the proportions to extremes: normal driving will give a 60 percent bias to the rear wheels, but economic highway cruising will send up to 100 percent of the power to the rear, while slippery conditions can move up to 90 percent of the power to the front.

Not exact matches

The basic torque distribution is 50:50, but if you choose Auto + it limits torque and increases stability in slippery conditions, while selecting Auto — allows more torque to be sent to the rear wheels.

Helps provide straight, more controlled stops, while helping the driver maintain steering control undermost road conditions, including slippery road surfaces

Weather mode is optimized for slippery conditions, while Mud / Sand mode puts the truck into 4 - wheel - drive High and locks the rear differential.

Standard four - wheel drive will help traction in slippery conditions, while stability control is standard, too.

The 4WD system comes with «On - Demand 4WD Functioning» which automatically implements rear wheel traction control by determining road conditions and maintaining traction on loose, rough and slippery surfaces while improving stability while cornering.

An advanced, specially calibrated all - wheel - drive system ensures optimal traction in wet and slippery conditions, and helps deliver maximum traction while cornering.

In addition to a stored code and illuminated Check Engine and Traction Control Malfunction lights, some other symptoms of a P0890 trouble code include a lack of traction while driving in slippery conditions and failure of the traction control system.

While the four - wheel drive does give you more grip and confidence in slippery conditions, a good set of winter tyres offers similar benefits at a much lower price without increasing CO2 emissions — thus saving you money on road tax, too.

The 5.6 - liter V8 provides sufficient muscle to cope with in - town traffic or freeway overtaking and, while the QX56's tall profile and curb weight of nearly three tons can elicit considerable body roll during really brisk cornering or transition maneuvers (as would be reasonably expected of such a vehicle during such driving), its standard and driver - selectable Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) package provides reassurance, particularly during slippery conditions.

Dynamic mode modified transmission shift points while illuminating the Virtual instruments in red and Rain / Snow / Ice mode, for more slippery conditions, provides more progressive throttle control.

The available RDX All - Wheel Drive (AWD) system is designed to help maximize the use of available traction in both dry and slippery conditions, while minimizing system - wide friction and power loss to help optimize fuel efficiency.

In slippery conditions, the system can also help the driver apply the optimal amount of driving force while minimizing wheel slip, utilizing input from the Vehicle Stability Assist ™ (VSA ®) system.

When sensing low grip conditions, such as on slippery roads, or when cornering at high speed, the Levante's Q4 system reacts instantly: in just 150 milliseconds, the Q4 system alters the torque split from 100 % rear - wheel drive, up to equal distribution (50 % -50 %) between the front and rear wheels, to ensure best control while delivering the typical Maserati rear - wheel drive experience.

While we agree that traction control may need to be disabled in slippery conditions such as snow or mud or other off - road conditions, the commenters do not explain why ESC functions must be disabled in those circumstances.
