TRACTION CONTROL (IF SO EQUIPPED)

On slippery surfaces, traction control system prevents the
drive wheels (front wheels) from excessive spinning,
during starting or while accelerating in turns on slippery
roads.

NOTE

• The traction control system functions at speeds

below about 25mph (40km/h).

• Some vibration will be felt in the vehicle body and a

whining sound of a motor will be heard from the
engine compartment when the traction control sys-
tem functions. This is a normal result of the traction
control system operation, and does not indicate a
malfunction.

Driving hints

1. Traction control system does not actively apply brakes.
Always decelerate the vehicle sufficiently before entering
corners or bends.

2. On snowy or icy roads, drive slowly using tire chains
or snow tires.

3. Never mix or use tires of different size since the
traction control system could function incorrectly and
make safe driving difficult.
