NOTE:
If the surface temperature of the steering

wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the switch

is turned on, the system will not heat the

steering wheel. This is not a malfunction.

The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle

Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driv-

ing conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC

system reduces the engine output to reduce

wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced

even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor. If

maximum engine power is needed to free a stuck

vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The

indicator will come on.

Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the

engine to turn on the system. See “Vehicle Dy-

namic Control (VDC) system” in the “Starting and

driving” section.

The power outlets are for powering electrical

accessories such as cellular telephones. They

are rated at 12 Volt, 120 W (10A) maximum.
The power outlet in the front console box is

powered directly by the vehicle battery. The out-

let on the center console near the shift selector is

powered only when the ignition switch is in the

ACC or ON position.
