The traction control system
can be turned off by
pressing the traction
control button, located on
the instrument panel
above the audio system.
The traction control system can be activated again by
pressing the traction control button.
If the system is limiting wheel spin when you press the
button, the traction control off light will appear on
the instrument panel cluster. The system will not turn off
until there is no longer a current need to limit wheel
spin. You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. If the light does not come on,
you may not have traction control and your vehicle
should be serviced by a dealer.
All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System
If your vehicle has all-wheel drive (AWD), the AWD
system operates automatically without any action
required by the driver. If the front drive wheels begin to
slip, the rear wheels will automatically begin to drive
the vehicle as required. There may be a slight
engagement noise during hard use but this is normal.
This light will come on
when engine torque is
reduced to protect
the AWD system from
overheating. You may feel
or hear a change in
engine output, but this
is normal.
During heavy AWD applications, the engine torque may
be reduced to protect AWD system components. If
the vehicle is exposed to extended heavy AWD usage,
the AWD system will shut itself off to protect the
system from overheating. When the system cools down,
the AWD system will activate itself again automatically;
this cool-down can take up to 20 minutes depending
on outside temperature and vehicle use.
If the AWD system is unable to protect the system from
overheating, the traction off light will come on to
indicate no protection capability. If this light comes on,
take your vehicle in for service.
