PRINCIPLES 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 using the information

display control. Refer to the Information Displays chapter.

System indicator lights and messages

WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the Traction

Control System, the stability control light will illuminate steadily.

Verify that the Traction Control System was not manually disabled using

the information display control. If the stability control light still

illuminates steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer

immediately. Operating your vehicle with Traction Control disabled

could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle

rollover, personal injury and death.

The stability control light temporarily illuminates on engine

start-up and flashes when a driving condition activates the

stability system.

The stability control off light temporarily illuminates on engine

start-up and stays on when the traction control system is

turned off or if a problem occurs in the stability system.

When the traction control system is turned off or on, a message appears

in the information display showing system status.
