TRACTION CONTROL姟 (IF EQUIPPED)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Traction

Control娂 system. This system helps you maintain

the stability and steerability of your vehicle,

especially on slippery road surfaces such as snow- or

ice-covered roads and gravel roads. The system will

allow your vehicle to make better use of available

traction in these conditions.

During Traction

Control娂 operation,

the traction control

active light will

illuminate, you may hear an electric motor type of

sound coming from the engine compartment and the

engine will not “rev-up” when you push further on

the accelerator. This is normal system behavior and

should be no reason for concern.

The Traction Control娂

switch, located below

the radio, illuminates

when the system is off.

The Traction Control娂

system will

automatically turn on every time the ignition is

turned OFF and ON.

If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a

very slippery road surface, try switching the Traction

Control娂 system off. This may allow excess wheel

spin to “dig” the vehicle out and enable a successful

“rocking” maneuver.

The traction control on/off status is shown by an

indicator lamp on the traction control switch. If the

system is off, the indicator will be illuminated. If a

system fault is detected while the traction control

system in on, the indicator lamp on the traction

control switch will be illuminated and your vehicle

should be serviced.
