WARNING:
Aggressive driving in any road conditions can cause you to lose control of your vehicle increasing the risk of severe personal injury or property damage. The occurrence of a traction control event is an indication that at least some of the tires have exceeded their ability to grip the road; this may lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. If you experience a severe road event, SLOW DOWN. |
Use the traction control switch on the instrument panel to select Off Road or Mud/Snow traction mode.
This is beneficial when your vehicle is stuck in snow or on a slippery road surface. This mode allows excess wheel spin to dig your vehicle out and allows you to rock your vehicle.
Press the switch again to select standard traction control. The system automatically selects standard traction control at the next ignition cycle.
System Indicator Light
Note:
If the traction control light does not flash during a traction control event or stays illuminated, the system is not functioning properly. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer for service.
During traction control operation, the traction control light flashes rapidly and the engine does not rev-up when you press further on the accelerator. This is normal and is no reason for concern.
In Off Road or Mud/Snow mode, the traction control light illuminates and flashes slowly. If a traction event occurs in either mode, the light flashes rapidly.
