Precision Control System (Option)

If your vehicle is equipped with the Precision Control
System (PCS), the system helps your vehicle to go in the
direction you are steering in difficult driving conditions.
This is accomplished when the computer senses that
your vehicle is starting to spin and assists the driver by
selectively applying any one of the vehicle’s brakes.

When the Precision Control
System is active, the LOW
TRAC light will come on.

Continue to steer in the direction you want the vehicle
to go and apply the brakes normally to slow the vehicle
as desired.

You may hear or feel the system working, but this is
normal. You should adjust your driving accordingly.
See “Low Traction Active (LOW TRAC) Light” in
the Index.

When you first start the vehicle, the PCS light should
come on briefly. If the light doesn’t come on then, have
your vehicle serviced so it will be ready to warn you if
there is a problem.

If you ever see the PCS warning light come on, it means
there is a problem with the Precision Control System. If
both the PCS and TRAC OFF lights are on, neither of
the systems are functioning. You can try resetting the
system: stop, turn off the engine, wait a few seconds and
then start the engine again. If both lights are still on, you
should have your vehicle serviced.
