the tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements and
when a traffic announcement comes on the tuned
radio station you will hear it.

announcements, press and hold this button for
two seconds and the radio will seek to a station that does.
When a station that broadcasts traffic announcements is
found, the radio will stop seeking and TRAF and brackets
will appear on the display. When a traffic announcement
comes on the tuned radio station you will hear it. If no
station is found that broadcasts traffic announcements,
NO TRAFFIC INFO will appear on the display.

for two seconds to turn off the traffic announcements.
The radio will play the traffic announcement even if the

Enhanced Traction System (ETS)
Your vehicle may have an Enhanced Traction System
(ETS) that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in
slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it
senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning
or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the
system reduces engine power and may also upshift the
transaxle to limit wheel spin. Also, the traction control
system activates the appropriate corner brakes to gain
even quicker control to limit wheel spin.
This light, located on the
instrument panel, will come
on when your Enhanced
Traction System is
limiting wheel spin.
You may feel or hear the system working, but this
is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the enhanced
traction system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise
control will automatically disengage. When road
conditions allow you to safely use it again, you may
re-engage the cruise control. SeeCruise Control
on page 3-10.The Enhanced Traction System operates in all transaxle
shift lever positions. But the system can upshift the
transaxle only as high as the shift lever position you’ve
chosen, so you should use the lower gears only
when necessary. SeeAutomatic Transaxle Operation on
page 2-24.
When the system is on,
this warning light, located
on the instrument panel
cluster, will come on to let
you know if there’s a
problem.
When this warning light is on, the system will not limit
wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road
conditions, you should always leave the Enhanced
Traction System on. But you can turn the system off if
you prefer.
To turn the system on or off, press the ETS button
located on the instrument panel. In order to effectively
“rock” the vehicle, you will need to turn off ETS.
