the engine compartment and the engine will not “rev-up” when you push

further on the accelerator. This is normal system behavior and should be

no reason for concern.

The Traction Control娂 switch,

located on the left-hand side of the

instrument panel, has an indicator

light that illuminates when the

system is off. The Traction Control娂

system will automatically turn on

every time the ignition is turned off

and on.

If you should become stuck in snow

or ice or on a very slippery road

surface, try switching the Traction Control娂 system off. This may allow

excess wheel spin to “dig” the vehicle out and enable a successful

“rocking” maneuver.

If a system fault is detected, the traction control switch’s OFF indicator

will illuminate and your vehicle should be serviced.

Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose

control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal

injury or property damage. The occurrence of a Traction Control娂

event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded

their ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss

of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If you

experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN.

STEERING

To prevent damage to the power steering system:

• Never hold the steering wheel at its furthest turning points (until it

stops) for more than a few seconds when the engine is running.

• Do not operate the vehicle with a low power steering pump fluid level

(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).

If the power steering system breaks down (or if the engine is turned

off), you can steer the vehicle manually, but it takes more effort.

If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:

• an improperly inflated tire

• uneven tire wear
