Traction Control™
In certain situations (for example, stuck in snow or mud), turning the traction control off may be beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin with full engine power. Turn off the traction control system through the information display. See the Information Displays chapter.
System Indicator Lights and Messages
WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the Traction Control System, the stability control light will illuminate steadily.
Verify that the Traction Control System was not manually disabled using the information display control. If the stability control light still illuminates steadily, have the system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with Traction Control disabled could lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The stability control light temporarily illuminates on engine start-up and flashes when a driving condition activates the stability system.
The stability control off light temporarily illuminates on engine start-up and stays on when the traction control system is turned off or if a problem occurs in the stability system.
When the traction control system is turned off or on, a message appears in the information display showing system status.
