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 is on, the indicator lamp on the traction
control switch will be illuminated and your vehicle
should be serviced.
