Active Handling System Light
The Active Handling System light will come on
briefly as you start the engine. If the light does not
come on then, have it fixed so it will be ready to
warn you if there is a problem. This light will
also come on when the ACTIVE HANDLING
CALIBRATING message is displayed in the Driver
Information Center (DIC).
If the light stays on or
comes on while you are
driving, a chime sounds
and a SERVICE ACTIVE
HANDLING SYSTEM
message appears on the
DIC, there is a problem
with your Active
Handling System and
your vehicle needs
service.
The driver can acknowledge this message by
pressing the RESET button. When the SERVICE
ACTIVE HANDLING SYSTEM message is
displayed in the DIC, the Active Handling System
will not assist you in controlling the vehicle.
You should have the system serviced as soon as
possible. Adjust your driving accordingly.
When the system is working, you will see the
ACTIVE HANDLING message displayed in
the DIC. You may also feel or hear the system
working. This is normal.
If the driver turns off the Active Handling System by
pressing the button on the console for five seconds,
the Active Handling System light will come on, a
chime will sound, and the TRACTION SYSTEM
AND ACTIVE HANDLING – OFF message will be
displayed in the DIC. The Traction Control System
will also be turned off. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 212 for more information.
If the Active Handling System and the Traction
Control System are off, pressing the console
button momentarily will turn both systems on. The
DIC will display the TRACTION SYSTEM AND
ACTIVE HANDLING – ON message, the
instrument cluster light will be off, and a chime will
sound. See DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 212 for more information.
