HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces power at the
same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces power in order to
increase traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: The stability and
traction control light illuminates steadily
if the system detects a failure. Make sure
you did not manually disable the traction
control system using the information
display controls or the switch. If the
stability control and traction control light
is still illuminating steadily, have the
system serviced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Operating your vehicle with
the traction control disabled could lead
to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
When you switch the system off or on, a
message appears in the information
display showing system status.
You can switch the system off with the
traction control switch.
Using a Switch
Use the traction control switch on the
instrument panel to switch the system off
or on. TRACTION CONTROL

•
You switch your vehicle on, off and
back on within a few seconds.
• Your vehicle remains stationary for over
two minutes.
• The anti-lock brake system activates.
• The traction control system activates.
• Your vehicle is in park (P).
• The steering wheel angle information
is not available. You must drive at least
492 ft (150 m) above 19 mph
(30 km/h) to reset the steering wheel
angle information.
Note: If you switch traction control off, the
side sensing system also turns off.
To reinitialize the system, drive the length
of your vehicle.
The side parking aid does not detect an
object that is moving toward the side of
your vehicle, for example another vehicle
moving at a low speed, if it does not pass
a front or rear parking aid sensor.
If the transmission is in reverse (R), the side
sensing system provides audible warnings.
When your vehicle is moving slowly,
obstacles are detected within
24 in
(60 cm) and are inside the driving path of
your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a
standstill condition, the audible warning
stops after a few seconds. Visual indication
is always present in reverse (R).
If your vehicle is in neutral (N), the side
sensing system provides visual indication
only when your vehicle is moving slowly
and there is a front or rear park aid
obstacle detected, and the side obstacle
is within
24 in (60 cm) from the side of
your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a
stop, the visual indication stops after a few
seconds. If the transmission is in drive (D) or any
other forward gear, the side sensing system
provides audible and visual warnings.
When your vehicle is moving slowly,
obstacles are detected within
24 in
(60 cm) and are inside the driving path of
your vehicle. Once your vehicle reaches a
standstill condition, the audible warning
and visual indication stops after a few
seconds.
Locating the Side Parking Aid
Sensors The side parking sensors are in the front
and rear bumpers on both sides of the
vehicle.
Side Parking Aid Audible Warnings
When the side parking aid detects an
object within the coverage area and the
driving path of your vehicle, an audible
warning sounds. As your vehicle moves
closer to the object, the rate of the tone
increases.
