Driving and Operating 201
When the ESC system is turned off,
the
i light and the g warning light
will both be on to warn the driver
that both traction control and ESC
are disabled.
It is recommended to leave the
system on for normal driving
conditions, but it may be necessary
to turn the system off if the vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow,
and you want to “rock” the vehicle to
attempt to free it. It may also be
necessary to turn off the system
when driving in extreme off-road
conditions where high wheel spin is
required.
ESC may also turn off automatically
if it determines that a problem exists
with the system. The appropriate
messages and the
d light will be on
solid to warn the driver that ESC is
disabled and requires service. If the
problem does not clear after
restarting the vehicle, see your
dealer for service. See Ride Control
System Messages 0 88.
Cruise Control
The cruise control:
.
Maintains the vehicle's speed
without pressing the accelerator
pedal.
.
Will only operate at speeds
above 40 km/h.
.
Switches are located on the
steering wheel.
{
Warning
Do not use the cruise control
when road or driving conditions
require varying speeds.
A constant speed is not practical
in heavy or varying traffic or on
winding, slippery or rough roads.
Remember that when
I
illuminates green, the cruise
control is maintaining the
vehicle's speed. Taking your foot
off the accelerator pedal does not
reduce the speed. To deactivate
the cruise control, press the brake
pedal or push
*.
The cruise control does not apply
the vehicle's brakes. The vehicle
may gain speed when going down
steep hills.
When climbing steep hills
(particularly when towing), the
vehicle may lose speed. In this
case, use the accelerator pedal.
