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.)
To turn the system off,
press the TRACTION
CONTROL button on the
instrument panel to the left
of
the steering wheel.
The
traction control system warning light will come
on and stay on. If the system is limiting wheel spin
when you press the button, 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 button again. The traction control system warning
light should
go
off.
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to.
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.
