TRACTION CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
The Traction Control System reduces wheel
slip and maintains traction at the driving
(front) wheels. The system reduces wheel slip
by engaging the brake on the wheel that is
losing traction while spinning. The traction system oper-
ates at speeds below 35 mph (56 km/h).
The system is always in the “stand by” mode unless:
•
The Traction Control switch has been used to turn the
system off;
•
There is an Anti-Lock Brake or Traction System mal-
function;
•
The system has been deactivated to prevent damage to
the brake system due to overheated brake tempera-
tures.
NOTE:
Extended heavy use of Traction Control may
cause the system to deactivate and turn on the Traction
Control indicator located in the instrument cluster.
This is to prevent overheating of the brake system and is
a normal condition. After cooling, the system will auto-
matically reactivate and turn off the Traction Control
Light.
