If you turn the system off by pressing the
TRACTION CONTROL button located on
the
center console, the warning light will come on and
stay
on. To turn the system back on, press the button
again. The warning light should go
off. (See
“Traction Control System” in the Index for more
information.)
If there’s
a brake system problem that is specifically
related
to traction control, the traction control system
will turn off and the warning light will come on.
If
your brakes begin to overheat, the traction control
system will turn off and the warning light will come
on until your brakes cool down.
If the traction control system is affected
by an
engine-related problem,
the system will turn off and
the warning light will come on.
If the traction control system warning light comes on
and stays on
for an extended period of time when the
system
is turned on, your vehicle needs service.
Traction Control System Active Light
TRACTION
ACTIVE
When your traction control system is limiting wheel
spin, the TRACTION ACTIVE light will come on.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this light comes
on, so adjust your driving accordingly. The light will
stay on for a few seconds after the traction control
system stops limiting
wheel spin.
The TRACTION ACTIVE light also comes on briefly,
as a bulb check, when the engine is started. If the light
doesn’t come on then, have
it fixed so it will be there to
tell
you when the system is active.

Air Conditioning
The air conditioner cools, dehumidifies, and filters the
air for the inside of the vehicle.
The air conditioner compressor
is enabled in all modes.
However, when the outside temperature is below
42" F
(6"C), the compressor will not operate. When the air
conditioner is on, you may sometimes notice slight
changes
in your vehicle's engine speed and power. This
is normal, because the system is designed to cycle the
compressor
on and off to keep the desired cooling and
help fuel economy.
The air conditioning is always enabled
in defog or
defrost. In any other mode,
you can select or shut off the
air conditioning as desired by pressing
A/C ON. The
indicator light will glow while the air conditioning is
enabled. For maximum
continued cooling, press the blue
temperature button repeatedly until the display reads
60" F (16°C) and press the A/C ON button. Using the
upper vents will cause
you to feel cooler more quickly.
The direction of
the cool air can be controlled by
adjusting, or turning off, the outlets in the dash. Aiming
them over your shoulder will benefit both front and rear
passengers. Back seat passengers can also redirect air
flow using the vents at the rear
of the center console.
On hot days, open the windows long enough to let the
hot inside air out. This reduces the time the air
conditioner's compressor will have to run, which should
help fuel economy.

The traction control system automatically comes on
whenever
you start your vehicle. To limit wheel spin,
especially
in slippery road conditions, you should
always leave the system on. But you can turn the
traction control system off
if you ever need to. (You
should
turn the system off if your vehicle ever gets stuck
in sand, mud, ice or snow. See “Rocking Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)

To turn the system off,
press the TRACTION
CONTROL button on
the center console. The
TRACTION
OFF warning light will come on and
stay on.
If the system is limiting wheel spin when you
press the button,
the system won’t turn off right away. It
will wait until there’s no longer a current need to limit
wheel spin.
You can
turn the system back on at any time by pressing
the button again. The TRACTION
OFF warning light
should go
off.
Braking in Emergencies
Use your anti-lock braking system when you need to.
With anti-lock, you can steer and brake at the same
time.
In many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.
