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 for example, stuck in

snow or mud, turning the traction control

off may be beneficial as this allows the

wheels to spin with full engine power.

Depending on the type of system you have

on your vehicle, you can either turn the

system off using the information display

or by pressing the button.

Switching the System Off Using

the Information Display Controls

(If Equipped)

Your vehicle comes with this feature

already enabled. If required, you can switch

this feature off using the information

display controls. See Principle of

Operation (page 166).

Switching the System Off Using a

Switch (If Equipped)

The button is located in the instrument

panel.

Press the button. You will see a message

in conjunction with an illuminated icon in

the display. Press the button again to

return the system to normal mode.

When you switch the traction control

system off, stability control remains fully

active.

WARNING

If a failure has been detected within

the AdvanceTrac system, the

vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
