Vehicle Control Systems
Traction Control
System Operation
The vehicle has a Traction Control System
(TCS) which is designed to limit wheel slip.
TCS activates if it senses that any of the
drive wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens, TCS
applies the brakes to the spinning wheels
and reduces engine power to limit wheel
spin.
If cruise control is being used and the TCS
becomes active, the cruise control system
will disengage. Cruise control may be
turned back on when road conditions allow.
The TCS systems come on automatically
when the vehicle is started and begins to
move. The systems may be heard or felt
while they are operating or while
performing diagnostic checks.
This is normal and does not mean there is a
problem with the vehicle.
Turning the System Off and On
The TSC button is located on the passenger
side of the dash
To turn off TCS, press and release the
button. The traction off light
TC
displays in
the instrument cluster.
To turn TCS on again, press and release the
button. The traction off light
TC
displayed in the instrument cluster will turn
off.
If TCS is limiting wheel spin when the
button is pressed, the system will not turn
off until the wheels stop spinning.
