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 operates 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 a Anti-Lock Brake System malfunction;
• There is a Traction Control System malfunction;
• 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 OFF Light, indicated by TRAC OFF , 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 TRAC OFF light.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, ice, or snow, turn
the Traction Control System Off before attempting to
“rock” the vehicle free.

satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Three primary
