The Traction Control™ switch is

located on the instrument panel.

The Traction Control™ 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™ 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™ 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™ 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™ 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.

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
