LOW
TRAC
This light will come
on when your traction
control system is limiting
wheel spin.
See “Low Traction Light” in the Index. You may
feel or hear the system working, but this is normal.
The traction control system may operate on
dry
roads
under some conditions, and you may notice a reduction
in acceleration when this happens. 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, or an abrupt upshift or downshift.
If your vehicle
is
in cruise control when the traction
control system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow
you
to
safely use
it
again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. (See “Cruise Control”
in the Index.)
TCS
OFF
When the system is on, this
warning light will come
on
to let you know if there’s
a
problem with your traction
control system.
See “Traction Control System Warning Light” in
the Index.
When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
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, ice or snow. See “Rocking
Your Vehicle”
in
the
Index.)
