PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The traction control system helps avoid

drive wheel spin and loss of traction.

If your vehicle begins to slide, the system

applies the brakes to individual wheels

and, when needed, reduces engine power

at the same time. If the wheels spin when

accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,

the system reduces engine power in order

to increase traction.

USING TRACTION CONTROL

In certain situations (e.g. stuck in snow or

mud), turning the traction control off may

be beneficial as this allows the wheels to

spin with full engine power. Turn off the

traction control system through the

information display. See General

Information (page 84).

System Indicator Lights and

Messages

WARNING

If a failure has been detected within

the AdvanceTrac system, the

stability control light will illuminate

steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac

system was not manually disabled through

the information display. If the stability

control light still illuminates steadily, have

the system serviced by an authorized

dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle

with AdvanceTrac disabled could lead to

an increased risk of loss of vehicle control,

vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
