Low Traction Launch Dashboard Indicator

Traction Launch

This is a Low Traction Launch Indicator symbol. It appears as a spoked wheel with an arrow pointing out and a wavy line beneath meant to represent the ground. The indicator is seen only when the low traction launch option is activated.

• But first, is this truly your symbol?? If yes, continue on below.
• Otherwise return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

The option enhances low speed maneuvering and pulling away from a standstill in adverse conditions. The touchscreen automatically displays a low traction launch pop-up screen if the a driving program is selected that accounts for conditions such as grass, gravel or snow.

To be activated, the vehicle must be stationary and additional terrain controls must be inactive. It can be used in conjunction with a descent control system.

Do not confuse the indicator with the one seen at the right. It too features a wheel or tire, but is one of far too many Traction Control Indicator options. Click here for more information.
