When your traction control system is limiting wheel
spin, the TRACTION ACTIVE light will come on.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this light comes
on,
so
adjust your driving accordingly. The light will
stay on for a few seconds after the traction control
system stops limiting
wheel
spin.
The TRACTION ACTIVE light also comes on briefly,
as
a bulb check, when
the
engine is started. If the light
doesn’t come on then, have
it
fixed
so
it will be there to
tell
you
when the system
is
active.
