Traction control system
The traction control system automatical-
ly helps control the spinning of the
front wheels which may occur when ac-
celerating on slippery road surfaces,
thus assisting driver to control the driv-
ing power of the front wheels.
Leave the system on during ordinary
driving so that it can operate when
needed. When traction control is ap-
plied, the slip indicator light blinks.
While the “VSC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light come on, the traction
control system cannot be operated.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
is started. This means that the traction
control system is in the self- check mode,
and does not indicate malfunction.
When the traction control system is oper-
ating, you may feel vibration or noise of
your vehicle, caused by operation of the
brakes. This indicates the system is func-
tioning properly.
When getting the vehicle out of mud or
new snow, etc. the traction control system
will help operate to prevent the wheels
from spinning.
You can turn off the traction control
system by pushing the “VSC OFF”
switch. The “VSC OFF” indicator light
will come on. Pushing the “VSC OFF”
switch a second time turns on the trac-
tion control system again and the “VSC
OFF” indicator light will go off. At this
time, the vehicle skid control also turns
off and on simultaneously.
