WARNING: 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™ 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.

During Traction Control™ operation,

the traction control active light will

illuminate, you may hear an electric

motor type of sound coming from

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™ 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.
