This warning light will
come on to let you know if
there’s a problem with your
traction control system.

See “Traction Control System Warning Light” in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.

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 on or off, press the TRACTION
CONTROL button on the console.

Precision Control System (Option)

If your vehicle is equipped with the Precision Control
System (PCS), the system helps your vehicle to go in the
direction you are steering in difficult driving conditions.
This is accomplished when the computer senses that
your vehicle is starting to spin and assists the driver by
selectively applying any one of the vehicle’s brakes.

When the Precision Control
System is active, the LOW
TRAC light will come on.
Continue to steer in the
direction you want the
vehicle to go and apply the
brakes normally to slow the
vehicle as desired.

You may hear or feel the system working, but this is
normal. You should adjust your driving accordingly.
See “LOW TRAC Light” in the Index.
