The Traction Control™ switch,

located on the instrument panel to

the left of the climate control

system, has an indicator light that

illuminates when the system is off.

The Traction Control™ system will

automatically turn on every time the

ignition is turned off and on. The

Traction Control™ system should normally be left on.

If you should become stuck in snow or ice or on a very slippery road

surface, try switching the Traction Control™ 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 active light will

illuminate, the Traction Control™ 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 three to five 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).

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

power steering pump fluid level before seeking service by your dealer.

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

Check for low power steering pump fluid level before seeking service

by your dealer.

• Do not fill the power steering pump 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

• loose or worn steering components
