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
re
-
engage the cruise control. (See “Cruise Control”
in the Index.)
When the system is on, this
warning light will come on
to let you know if there’s a
problem with your traction
control system. See “Traction
Control System Warning
Light” in the Index.
When this warning light is on, 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, ice or snow. See “Rocking
Your Vehicle” in the Index.)
To turn the system off, press
the TCS button located at
the front of the console.
The light on the button will go off, and the traction
control system warning light will come on and stay on.
If the traction control system is limiting wheel spin
when you press the button, the light on the button will
go off and the warning light will come on
--
but the
system won’t turn off right away. It will wait until
there’s no longer a current need to limit wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. The light on the button should
come on, and the traction control system warning light
should go off.
