Traction Control System (TCS)
Your vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) that
limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road
conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one
or both of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to
lose traction. When this happens, the system reduces
engine power to limit wheel spin. You may feel or hear
the system working, but this is normal.
This light will flash when
your traction control system
is limiting wheel spin.
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 and rocking the vehicle is required.
See Rocking Your Vehicle to Get It Out on page 4-35
and If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow
on page 4-34 for more information.
The TCS button is located
on the instrument panel.
Press this button briefly to turn off the TCS.
One of these TCS warning
lights will be displayed on
the instrument panel
when the TCS is off.
