Full-Range Traction Control System
Your vehicle may have a Full Range Traction Control
System that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only
if
it senses that one or both of the front wheels are
spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this
happens, the system works the front brakes and reduces
engine power to limit wheel spin.
The low traction light will
come on when the traction
control system
is limiting
LOW TRAC
wheel spin. See Low
Traction Light on
page
3-32.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this is
normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
reengage the cruise control. See ”Cruise Control’’ under
Turn SignaVMultifunction Lever on page
3-7.
TRAC
OFF
This light should come on
briefly when you start the
engine. If it stays on
or
comes on while you
are driving, there’s a
problem with your traction
control system.
See Traction Control System (TCS) Warning Light on
page
3-31. When this warning light is on, the system will
not limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The traction control system automatically comes
on whenever you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin,
especially in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But you can turn the
traction control system
off if you ever need to. You
should turn the system
off if your vehicle ever gets stuck
in sand, mud or snow and rocking the vehicle is
required. See “Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out”
under If
You Are Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow on
page
4-30.
