Traction Control System

When starting out or driving at low

speeds on a loose or slippery road
surface, you may notice that the

vehicle does not respond to the

accelerator in the same way it does
at other times. This is a sign the TCS
is activating. You will see the TCS
indicator light flash.

You should still install winter tires on

your vehicle during the winter. Make

sure to use the same size originally
supplied with vehicle. Exercise the
same caution in winter driving as you

would if your vehicle was not

equipped with TCS.

Driving with the compact spare tire
installed (see page

292

) may

activate the TCS. You should turn off

the system.

If the brakes overheat while the TCS

is activating, the TCS indicator will

stop flashing and stay on temporarily.

This indicates that the TCS system

has turned off. After the brakes have

cooled down (usually for about 10
minutes), the TCS will turn back on

and the indicator will turn off.

TCS ON

/

OFF Switch

This switch is under the side vent. It

lets you turn the Traction Control
System on and off. You cannot turn

off the TCS while the TCS indicator

light is flashing.

Deactivate the system by pressing
the TCS On/Off switch. The TCS
indicator light comes on as a
reminder. Pressing the switch again
turns the system back on.
