PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The traction control system helps avoid

drive wheel spin and loss of traction.

If your vehicle begins to slide, the system

applies the brakes to individual wheels

and, when needed, reduces engine power

at the same time. If the wheels spin when

accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,

the system reduces engine power in order

to increase traction.

USING TRACTION CONTROL

(Dual rear wheel vehicles only)

In certain situations (for example, stuck in

snow or mud), it may be beneficial to turn

the traction control system off. This allows

the wheels to spin with full engine power.

E162724

Turn the traction control system off by

pressing the stability control button

located on the instrument panel.

If you cannot turn the system off, see the

MyKey chapter for more information.

Placing your vehicle into four-wheel drive

mode automatically disables traction

control. Traction control operation will

resume when you place your vehicle back

into two-wheel drive mode.
