The TCS may operate on dry roads under some
conditions. When this happens, you may notice
a reduction in acceleration. This is normal
and doesn’t mean there’s a problem with your
vehicle. Examples of these conditions include
a hard acceleration in a turn, an abrupt upshift
or downshift of the transmission or driving
on rough roads.
When the light in the top of the TCS button is
on, the TCS is off and will not limit wheel
spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
The light in the top of the TCS button will come
on if the TCS is turned off by pressing the
TCS on/off button.
The light may also come on if a problem has been
detected in either the traction control system or
the anti-lock brake system.
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 on page 179 for more information.
To turn the system on
or off, press the traction
control button located
on the instrument panel.
If you used the TCS button to turn the system off,
the light in the top of the button will come on
and stay on. You can turn the TCS back on at
any time by pressing the button again; the
light should go off.
Adding non-dealer/non-retailer accessories can
affect your vehicle’s performance. See Accessories
and Modifications on page 191 for more
information.
