The TRACTION ENGAGED message will display on
the Driver Information Center when the traction control
system is limiting wheel spin. See "Driver Information
Center Messages" in the Index. You may feel or hear the
system working, but this is normal.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the traction control
system begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will
automatically disengage. When road conditions allow you to
safely use it again, you may reengage the cruise control. (See
"Cruise Control" in the Index.)

This warning light will come on to let you know if
there's a problem with your traction control system.
See "Traction Control System Warning Light" in the
Index. When this warning light is on, the system will not
limit wheel spin. Adjust your driving accordingly.
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.)
