Winter Driving Mode
(automatic transmissions only)
The Winter Driving Mode enables
the transmission to start the vehicle
moving in third gear. Third-gear
takeoff reduces torque applied to
the rear wheels, which reduces
wheelspin during slippery conditions.
The vehicle’s acceleration capability
will be reduced when this system is
activated. Consequently, this feature
is not intended for continuous use.
The Winter Driving Mode can be
activated only when the transmission
is in Drive (D) gear and the vehicle
speed is below 28 mph (44.8 km/h).
Refer to your Owner Manual for
further information.
2. The Winter Driving Mode button is
located at the top of the shift
designation panel. Press the
button once to turn the Winter
Driving Mode on or off. An
indicator light in the instrument
cluster will light when the mode is
active and will turn off when the
ignition is turned off.
TRACTION & STABILITY
Traction Control System
The traction control system comes on
every time you start your vehicle.
When one or more of the drive
wheels begin to spin from traction
loss, the Traction Control System will
apply braking to the spinning
wheel(s) and may reduce engine
power until traction is regained.
If your vehicle becomes stuck, and
rocking the vehicle is required, the
system should be turned off.
• Press the button located inside the
glove box.
StabiliTrak System (standard)
StabiliTrak is an advanced computer-
controlled system that assists with
directional control of the vehicle
during sudden maneuvers or low
traction situations. It is normal to
hear the system working, and the
system will automatically disengage
cruise control when activated.
