WHAT IS TRACTION CONTROL
The traction control system helps to avoiddrive wheel spin and loss of traction.
HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheelsand, when needed, reduces power at thesame time. If the wheels spin whenaccelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,the system reduces power in order toincrease traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehiclewith the traction control disabled couldlead to an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
The system turns traction control andstability control on each time you poweron your vehicle.
The switch for the stability and tractioncontrol system is on the instrument panel.
If you press the switch, it will turn tractioncontrol off.
When you switch the system off, amessage and an illuminated icon appearon the instrument cluster.
Use the switch again to return the tractioncontrol system to normal operation.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,switching traction control off may bebeneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note:When you switch traction control off,stability control remains fully active.
Your vehicle could have MyKey restrictionsregarding this feature. See What IsMyKey (page 76).
