maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the fol-
lowing situations:

When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
 When driving with tire chains

When driving over bumps in the road

When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
 TRC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC system is operating.
Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost.


The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.


Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are systems to ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do
not turn the TRC/VSC systems off unless necessary.
