If your vehicle is in cruise control when the TAS begins
to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. When road conditions allow you to safely
use it again, you may turn the cruise control back on.
See “Cruise Control” in the Index.
When the TRACTION OFF
light is on, the TAS is off
and will not limit wheel
spin. Adjust your
driving accordingly.
The TRACTION OFF light will come on under the
following conditions:
D The Traction Assist System is turned off, either by
pressing the TAS on/off button or turning off the
automatic engagement feature of the TAS.
D The transmission is in FIRST (1); TAS will not
operate in this gear. This is normal.
D The vehicle is driven on a severely rough road.
When the vehicle leaves the rough surface, slows
down or stops, the light will go off and TAS will be
on again. This is normal.
D A Traction Assist System problem has been detected
and the vehicle needs service.
See “Traction Off Light” in the Index.
The Traction Assist System, as delivered from the
factory, will automatically come 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 TAS off if you ever need to.
(You should turn the TAS off if your vehicle ever gets
stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow. See “Rocking Your
Vehicle” in the Index.)
To turn the system on or off
press the TAS on/off button
located to the left of the
steering wheel on the
instrument panel.
If you used the button to turn the system off, the
TRACTION OFF light will come on and stay on. You
can turn the system back on at any time by pressing the
button again. The TRACTION OFF light should go off.
