to the Low (L) range position and select
a lower or higher driving gear using the
+ / – button on the side of the shift
lever. The display on the instrument
panel cluster will show the current gear
selection.

advanced computer-
controlled vehicle
stability and traction
enhancement sys-
tem that assists with
directional control of
the vehicle in difficult driving conditions.
It turns on automatically every time you
start your vehicle.
To limit wheelspin and help maintain
directional control, you should always
leave the system on. However, if your
vehicle becomes stuck and rocking the
vehicle is required, the system should
be turned off.
To turn off the traction control part of the
system, press the (Traction Control)
button located on the center console in
front of the shift lever.
