Using Traction Control
The stability and traction control light:
WARNING:
Operating your vehicle with the traction control disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. |
The system automatically turns on each time you switch the ignition on.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, switching traction control off may be beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note:
For additional information on the traction and stability control systems. See
Using Stability Control
.
Switching the System Off
When you switch the system off or on, a message appears in the information display showing system status.
Use the traction and stability control switch on the instrument panel to switch the system off or on.
The switch illuminates when traction control is off.
When you place your vehicle into four-wheel drive low mode the traction control disables. Traction control resumes full operation when you put your vehicle back into two-wheel drive mode.
