C
To turn the system off,
press the TRACTION
button on the panel located
directly behind your
automatic transaxle shift
lever.
The traction control system warning light will come on
and stay on.
You can turn the system back on at any time by
pressing the button again. The traction control system
warning light should go
off.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 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 reduces engine power and may
also upshift the transaxle to limit wheel spin.
LOW TRAC
This light will come on
when your Traction Control
System is limiting wheel
spin. See Low Traction
Light
on page 3-34.
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
re-engage the cruise control. See Cruise Control in Turn
Signal/Multifunction Lever
on page 3-7.
The Traction Control System operates in all transaxle
shift lever positions. But the system can upshift the
transaxle only
as high as the shift lever position you’ve
chosen,
so you should use the lower gears only
when necessary. See Automatic Transaxle Operation
on
page 2-22.
