Active Handling System
The Active Handling System is a computer controlled
system that helps the driver maintain directional control
of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. This is
accomplished by selectively applying any one of the
vehicle’s brakes.
When you first start your vehicle during cold winter
weather and begin to drive away, the message ACTIVE
HANDLING WARMING UP may be displayed in the
DIC. This is normal. You can acknowledge this message
by pressing the RESET button. The Active Handling
System performance is affected until the message,
ACTIVE HANDLING READY, is displayed in the DIC.
The ACTIVE HANDLING CALIBRATING message may
be displayed in the DIC and the instrument panel
cluster light will be on after exceeding 18 mph (30 km/h)
for 10 seconds. The Active Handling System is off
until the ACTIVE HANDLING READY message
is displayed. This could take up to 15 minutes.
The ACTIVE HANDLING message will come on when
the system is operating. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-53 for more information. You may
also feel or hear the system working. This is normal.
The SERVICE ACTIVE
HANDLING message will
be displayed, the
instrument cluster light will
come on, and a chime will
sound to let you know if
there is a problem with the
system. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on
page 3-53 for more
information.
When this light and the SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING
message are on, the system is not operational.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
