What Does "Traction Control Activated" Mean on the Renault Clio Display?

Model: Renault Clio Clio IV, MK 4, Clio 4 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Instrument cluster

If inserting the key card into its slot and pressing the ignition button on the Renault Clio displays the message "Traction Control Activated", the most likely cause is a flat car battery. In addition to this message, the message "Brake Circuit Fault" may also appear, as shown in the video. Other messages indicating insufficient battery charge include "Power Steering Fault" and "ABS Check". To prevent these error messages from reappearing, it may be necessary to replace the battery with a new one or simply recharge it.
