Traction Control System (TCS)

The vehicle has a Traction Control System (TCS) that

limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery

road conditions. The system operates only if it senses

that the front wheels are spinning too much or are

beginning to lose traction. When this happens,

the system works the front brakes and reduces engine

power by closing the throttle and managing engine

spark to limit wheel spin.

This light will ﬂash when

the traction control system

is limiting wheel spin.

The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but

this is normal.

If the vehicle is in cruise control when TCS begins to

limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically

disengage. The cruise control may be re-engaged when

road conditions allow. See Cruise Control on page 4-7.

When this light is on solid

and either the SERVICE

TRACTION or TRACTION

OFF message is

displayed, the system will

not limit wheel spin.

Adjust your driving accordingly. See DIC Warnings and

Messages on page 4-42 for more information.

The Traction Control System is automatically enabled

whenever the vehicle is started. To limit wheel spin,

especially in slippery road conditions, always leave the

system enabled. TCS can be turned off if needed.

It is recommended to leave the system on for normal

driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn

the system off if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice or

snow, and you want to “rock” the vehicle to attempt to

free it. It may also be necessary to turn off the

system when driving in extreme off-road conditions

where high wheel spin is required. See If Your Vehicle

is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 5-18.
