When starting from a stop on a slippery road, if the Traction Control kicks in you will notice a dramatic "loss of power". The tendency is to back off the accelerator. Don't do that! Leave the accelerator in its original position and power will come back up.

Front-wheel drive. Your version is also equipped with traction control, ABS w/EBD and Brake Assist.
