TRACTION
CONTROL
This system prevents wheel spin at
all speeds. The control will toggle
this function on and off, but the
feature defaults to on after each
cycle of the ignition key.
The traction control system
controls excessive wheel spin by
automatically applying and
releasing the brakes in conjunction
with engine torque reductions.
This can occur when accelerating
on a slippery road, a loose surface
or when pulling away on a hill. The
traction control lamp flashes when
the system is functioning to
regulate tire traction. The light
illuminates continuously to indicate
a fault in the system.
You should not take unnecessary
driving risks because of the
system's safety potential.
Switching off traction control
If you become stuck in snow or on a
slippery road surface, try switching
off the traction control system by
pressing the switch. This may allow
the excess wheel spin to dig" the
vehicle out or enable a successful
rocking" maneuver. do not rock
the vehicle for more than a few
minutes, because it could damage
the vehicle the vehicle.
The light in the control illuminates
continuously when the system has
been switched off. To reactivate the
system, depress the switch again or
restart the engine.
