TRACTION CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)

The traction control 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 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 may not “rev-up” when you press farther on the accelerator. This
is normal system behavior and should be no reason for concern.

WARNING:

Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause

you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe

personal injury or property damage. The occurrence of a traction
control event is an indication that at least some of the tires have
exceeded their ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and
death. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.

The traction control switch is
located on the instrument panel.
The traction control system will
automatically turn on every time the
ignition is turned off and on. When
disabled, the OFF will be
illuminated on the switch. The
traction control system will automatically turn on every time the ignition
is turned to off and on.

If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a very slippery road
surface, try switching the traction control system off. Switching the
traction control system off may allow excess wheel spin to “dig” the
vehicle out and enable a successful “rocking” maneuver. When the
traction control system is off, an indicator light will illuminate and will
remain on until the system is turned back on or the ignition is turned off
and on. Remember to switch the traction control system back on once
the vehicle is no longer stuck.

If a system fault is detected, the traction control active light will
illuminate, the traction control button will not turn the system on or off
and your vehicle should be serviced by an authorized dealer.
