A traction control system (TCS) in which the engine torque is reduced after
a slip threshold has been exceeded by at least one driven wheel and is
raised again after the slip has fallen below the threshold, the traction
control system further including an arrangement for detecting cornering
and coefficient of friction. In order to improve vehicle stability when
cornering, upon detection of cornering on a road surface having a low
coefficient of friction, the gradient of the engine torque increase during
the TCS control action is set lower than when traveling straight ahead.
