If the vehicle is in cruise control while TCS begins to
limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically
disengage. The cruise control can be re-engaged when
road conditions allow. See Turn Signal/Multifunction
Lever on page 4 4.
Adjust your driving accordingly. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 4 41 for more information.
When this light is
on and either the
SERVICE TRACTION
or TRACTION OFF
message is displayed,
the system will not limit
wheel spin.
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
The Traction Control System comes on automatically
whenever the vehicle is started. It is recommended to
leave the system on for normal driving conditions, but
it may be necessary to turn the system off if the vehicle
is stuck in sand, mud, ice or snow, and you want to
rock your vehicle to attempt to free it. It may also be
necessary to turn off the system when driving in off-road
conditions where high wheel spin is required. See If
Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on
page 5 22.
The DIC displays the appropriate message as
described previously when the button is pressed.
To turn the system off or
on, press and release the
ESC/TCS button located
on the instrument panel.
