PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The traction control system helps avoid
drive wheel spin and loss of traction.
If your vehicle begins to slide, the system
applies the brakes to individual wheels
and, when needed, reduces engine power
at the same time. If the wheels spin when
accelerating on slippery or loose surfaces,
the system reduces engine power in order
to increase traction.
USING TRACTION CONTROL
WARNING: Operating your vehicle
with the traction control disabled could
lead to an increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal injury
and death.
The system automatically turns on each
time you switch the ignition on.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow,
switching traction control off may be
beneficial as this allows the wheels to spin.
Note: When you switch traction control off,
stability control remains fully active.
Switching the System Off When you switch the system off,
a message and an illuminated
icon appear on the instrument
cluster.
Use the switch again to return the traction
control system to normal operation.
The switch for the stability and traction
control system is on the instrument panel.
Your vehicle could have MyKey restrictions
regarding this feature. See
What Is
MyKey (page 63). System Indicator Lights and
Messages The stability and traction control
light temporarily illuminates on
engine start-up and flashes:
• When a driving condition activates
either of the systems.
• If a problem occurs in either of the
systems. The stability and traction control
off light temporarily illuminates
on engine start-up and stays on:
• When you switch the traction control
system off.
• When you select an alternative stability
control mode.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: Vehicle modifications
involving braking system, aftermarket
roof racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size
may change the handling characteristics
of your vehicle and may adversely affect
the performance of the electronic
stability control system. In addition,
installing any stereo loudspeakers may
interfere with and adversely affect the
electronic stability control system. Install
any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as
far as possible from the front center
console, the tunnel, and the front seats
in order to minimize the risk of interfering
with the electronic stability control
sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of
the electronic stability control system
could lead to an increased risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death. WARNING:
Remember that even
advanced technology cannot defy the
laws of physics. It’ s always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the electronic stability
control system is an indication that at
least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator ’s ability to control
the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. If your
electronic stability control system
activates, SLOW DOWN.
The system automatically turns on each
time you switch the ignition on. If a fault occurs in either the stability
control or the traction control system, you
may experience the following conditions:
•
The stability and traction control light
illuminates steadily.
• The stability control and traction
control systems do not enhance your
vehicle's ability to maintain traction of
the wheels.
If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or the traction control
system you may experience the following
conditions:
• The stability and traction control light
flashes.
• Your vehicle slows down.
• Reduced engine power.
• A vibration in the brake pedal.
• The brake pedal is stiffer than usual.
• If the driving condition is severe and
your foot is not on the brake, the brake
pedal may move as the system applies
higher brake force.
The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
The system enhances your vehicle ’s ability
to prevent skids or lateral slides by
applying brakes to one or more of the
wheels individually and, if necessary,
reducing engine power.
Traction Control
The system enhances your vehicle ’s ability
to maintain traction of the wheels by
detecting and controlling wheel spin.

Using Traction Control (page 175).

control button for more than five seconds
when you apply the brakes and the vehicle
is at a stop. You can switch off the traction
control portion of the system
independently. See Using Traction

Note:
Do not use the Sport stability control
setting on public roadways.
Some models could also come equipped
with a sport setting which allows the driver
to reduce normal electronic stability
control system intervention and provide a
more spirited driving experience. To enter
sport, toggle the stability control button
twice rapidly. The message appears in the
information display that the system is now
in sport.
For vehicles equipped with the selectable
drive mode feature, electronic stability
control sport mode is not available. You
can utilize the performance oriented
electronic stability control mode by
selecting track drive mode. In this mode,
electronic stability control intervention is
reduced and tuned specifically for track
use only and is not for use on public roads.
In all of the selectable drive modes, you
can disable traction control and electronic
stability control with the electronic stability
control switch.

DRIVE CONTROL - MACH 1 (IF
EQUIPPED)
Selectable Drive Modes
Selectable drive modes deliver a
customized driving experience using a
variety of electronic vehicle systems. The
systems optimize vehicle dynamics and
powertrain response based on your
selected mode. Systems associated with
selectable drive modes are:
• Electronically power assisted steering.
See
Steering (page 203).
• Electronic stability control and traction
control maintain your vehicle control
in adverse conditions or high
performance driving.
See Stability
Control (page 176). See Traction
Control (page 175).
• Electronic throttle control enhances
the powertrain response to your driving
input.
• Adaptive dampers, if your vehicle
comes with them.
• Active exhaust, if provided on your
vehicle, adjusts the sound
characteristics of your vehicle.
Using Selectable Drive Modes To change the drive mode setting, press
the mode button on the instrument panel
under the display. The first press
illuminates the selected mode, subsequent
presses change the selected mode.
Note:
Mode changes are not available when
the ignition is off or when the transmission
is in reverse (R). Some modes may be
unavailable when the transmission is in drive
(D) or sport (S).
Note: Your vehicle may have some of the
drive modes that follow.
Modes:
• Normal – Best suited for everyday
driving. If your vehicle has adaptive
dampers, the suspension delivers a
balanced combination of comfort and
handling. Selectable steering defaults
to normal but you can change it using
the steering button.
• Sport – Engages when you shift your
automatic transmission into sport (S).
Sport mode increases throttle
response and helps your vehicle
accelerate faster, but does not change
the vehicle dynamics or stability
system. The automatic transmission
holds lower gears and a higher RPM
when lifting off the accelerator. The
automatic transmission downshifts to
a higher RPM when braking
aggressively.
• Sport+ – Best suited for spirited driving.
This mode increases throttle response,
and if your vehicle has active exhaust,
it takes on a more powerful tone. If your
vehicle has adaptive dampers, the
suspension becomes stiffer, body
motion reduces and the steering
becomes more precise. Selectable
steering defaults to sport. Depending
on your vehicle configuration, you may
be able to change the selectable
steering setting by pressing the steering
