To
turn the system
off,
press
the
TCS
switch located at
the front
of
the console.
The light on
the
switch will
go
off,
and the traction
control system warning light in
the
cluster will come on
and stay on.
If
the traction control system is limiting
wheel spin when you press the switch, the light on the
switch will
go
off
and
the
warning light will
come
on
--
but the system won’t
turn
off right away. It
will
wait
until there’s no longer a current need to limit wheel spin.
You
can turn the system back on at any time by pressing
the
switch
again. The
light
on
the switch should come
on,
and
the traction control system warning light
should
go
off.
Braking in Emergencies
With anti-lock,
you
can steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help
you
more
than even the very best braking.
Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine
stops or the system is not functioning,
you
can steer but
it will take much more effort.
Steering Tips
Driving
on
Curves
It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A
lot
of
the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on
the news happen on curves. Here’s why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each
of
us is subject to
the same laws of physics when driving
on
curves. The
traction
of
the
tires against the road surface makes
it
possible for the vehicle to change its path when
you
turn
the front wheels. If there’s
no
traction, inertia
will
keep
the vehicle going
in
the same direction. If you’ve ever
tried to steer a vehicle on wet ice, you’ll understand
this.
