matically helps prevent the spinning of

ated on slippery road surfaces.

the system automatically turns on.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and

tained, even though the traction con-
trol system is in operation. Do not
drive the vehicle under any speed or
maneuvering conditions which may
cause the vehicle to lose traction
control. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the present road condi-
tions.

nary driving so that it can operate
when needed.
