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, ice or snow. See “Rocking Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
To turn the system
off,
press
the T/C button located to
the right
of
the steering
wheel.
The TRACTION
OFF
warning light will come on and

wheel spin.
You can turn the system back on at any time by pressing
the button again. The TRACTION
OFF
warning light
should go off.
