Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle may have a traction control system
that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only
if it senses that one or both of the front wheels are
spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this
happens, the system works the front brakes and
reduces engine power to limit wheel spin.
The TRACTION ACTIVE message will come on
when the traction control system is limiting
wheel spin. See
Traction Active Message on
page 227
. You may feel or hear the system
working, but this is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the
traction control system begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control will automatically disengage.
When road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, you may reengage the cruise control.
See
Cruise Control on page 181
.
If this message comes on and stays on or comes
on while you are driving, there’s a problem
with your traction control system.
See
Service Traction System Warning Message
on page 226
. When this warning message is
on, the TRAC OFF light will come on to remind
you that the system will not limit wheel spin. Adjust
your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel
spin, especially in slippery road conditions, you
should always leave the system on. But you can
turn the traction control system off if you ever need
to. You should turn the system off if your vehicle
ever gets stuck in sand, mud or snow and rocking
the vehicle is required. See
If Your Vehicle is Stuck
in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 331
