Excessive wheel spin is controlled in two ways, which may work

separately or in tandem; engine traction control and brake traction

control. Engine traction control works to limit drive-wheel spin by

momentarily reducing engine power. Brake traction control works to limit

wheel spin by momentarily applying the brakes to the wheel that is

slipping. Traction control is most active at low speeds.

During TCS events, the stability control light in the instrument cluster

will flash.

If TCS is activated excessively in a short period of time, the braking

portion of the system may become temporarily disabled to allow the

brakes to cool down. In this situation, TCS will use only engine power

reduction or transfer to help control the wheels from over-spinning.

When the brakes have cooled down, the system will regain all features.

Anti-lock braking and electronic stability control (ESC) will continue to

function during the cool-down period.

The engine traction control and brake traction control systems may be

deactivated in certain situations. See the Switching off AdvanceTrac威

section below.

Electronic stability control (ESC)

Electronic stability control (ESC) may enhance your vehicle’s directional

stability during adverse maneuvers, for example when cornering severely

or avoiding objects in the roadway. ESC operates by applying brakes to

one or more of the wheels individually and, if necessary, reducing engine

power if the system detects that the vehicle is about to skid or slide

laterally.

During ESC events, the stability control light in the instrument cluster

will flash.

Certain adverse driving maneuvers may activate ESC, which include but

are not limited to:

• Taking a turn too fast

• Maneuvering quickly to avoid an accident, pedestrian or obstacle

• Driving over a patch of ice or other slippery surfaces

• Changing lanes on a snow-rutted road

• Entering a snow-free road from a snow-covered side street, or vice

versa

• Entering a paved road from a gravel road, or vice versa
