If you should become stuck in snow

or on a very slippery road surface,

try switching the Traction Controly

system off with the traction control

switch located on the left hand side

of the radio. This may allow excess

wheel spin to “dig” the vehicle out

or enable a successful “rocking”

maneuver.

If the Traction Controly system is

cycled excessively, the brake portion of the system will shut down to

prevent the front brakes from overheating. A limited Traction Controly

function using only engine torque reduction will still control wheels from

over-spinning. When the front brakes have cooled down, the system will

again function normally. Anti-lock braking is not affected by this

condition and will function normally during the cool down period.

If a system fault is detected, CHECK TRACTION CONTROL is displayed

on the message center, the “T/C OFF” warning indicator lamp is on and

your vehicle should be serviced.

AdvanceTracY Stability Enhancement System (if equipped)

The AdvanceTracy system helps the driver maintain the stability and

steer-ability of the vehicle. The system integrates anti-lock braking

system (ABS) and Traction Controly with other vehicle systems to

further enhance the stability of the vehicle. The system shares many of

the electronic and mechanical elements already present in the Traction

Controly and ABS systems.

AdvanceTracy constantly monitors the vehicle motion relative to the

driver’s intended course. This is done by using added sensors that

compare the steering inputs from the driver with the actual motion of

the vehicle. When there is a discrepancy between the driver’s inputs and

the vehicle motion, AdvanceTracy changes the force at each tire to help

control the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to rotate excessively left or

right, spin out, or slide sideways, the system will attempt to correct the

excessive motion. If the vehicle does not respond to steering inputs, the

system will attempt to increase the turning response of the vehicle.

AdvanceTracy enhances stability during maneuvers that require all

available tire traction to control the vehicle. The system uses ABS and

Traction Controly (including control of the engine) as well as its more

advanced controls to enhance vehicle stability. The benefits of the

AdvanceTracy system are most noticeable when driving in wet/snowy/icy

T/C
