The Traction Control娂 switch is

located on the center console, by

the gearshift lever. 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 by pressing the switch. This may allow excess wheel

spin to “dig” the vehicle out and enable a successful “rocking” maneuver.

If you want to turn off the Traction Control娂 system be aware that, for

safety reasons, the switch must be pressed and held for at least one

second before the system is turned off. To re-engage the Traction

Control娂 system, the button must again be held for at least one second.

If a system fault is detected, the traction control active light will

illuminate, the Traction Control娂 button will not turn the system on or

off and your vehicle should be serviced by an authorized dealer.

STEERING

To help 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 fluid level

(below the MIN mark on the reservoir).

• Some noise is normal during operation. If the noise is excessive, check

for a low power steering fluid level before seeking service by your

authorized dealer.

• Heavy or uneven steering efforts may be caused by a low power

steering fluid level. Check for a low power steering fluid level before

seeking service by your authorized dealer.

• Do not fill the power steering fluid reservoir above the MAX mark on

the reservoir, as this may result in leaks from 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

• loose or worn suspension components
