HOW DOES TRACTION
CONTROL WORK
If your vehicle begins to slide, the systemapplies the brakes to individual wheelsand, when needed, reduces power at thesame time. If the wheels spin whenaccelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,the system reduces power in order toincrease traction.
SWITCHING TRACTION
CONTROL ON AND OFF
WARNING: Operating your vehiclewith the traction control disabled couldlead to an increased risk of loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, personal injuryand death.
The traction control system turns on eachtime you switch the ignition on.
The button for your traction control systemis located on the center console.
Press and release the button to switchtraction control off. The stability controlsystem remains fully active.
When you switch traction control off, amessage and an illuminated icon appearon the instrument cluster.
Press the switch again to turn the tractioncontrol system back on to normaloperation.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,switching traction control off may bebeneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Your vehicle may have MyKey restrictionsregarding this feature. See What IsMyKey (page 67).
