NOTE:

To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving

with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand, or
gravel, switch off the TCS by pressing the TCS OFF
button.

CAUTION!

When the TCS Indicator Light is illuminated con-
tinuously, the TCS is switched off. Avoid spinning
one drive wheel. This may cause serious damage to
the drive train.

NOTE:

• The Traction Control System comes on each time the

ignition switch is turned ON. This will occur even if
you used the Traction Control Button to turn OFF the
system.

• The Traction Control System will make buzzing or

clicking sounds when in operation.

BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM (BAS) — IF EQUIPPED

WARNING!

The BAS (Brake Assist System) cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle,
nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevail-
ing road conditions. The BAS cannot prevent acci-
dents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or
hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful
driver can prevent accidents. The capabilities of a
BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner, which could jeopar-
dize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
